\"\"Allen T. Butler of Hornell, NY was found deceased in his home on Wednesday\u00a0March 17th<\/sup>, from natural causes. He was 78 years of age.<\/p>\n

He was preceded in death by his parents, Charles and Lillian (Culbert) Butler; his siblings, James, Barbara, Violet (Mahoney), Paul, Larry (Pete), Robert (Bob), Louise, Billy, Joseph, Richard (Dick), Lois, Janet, and Eugene Butler.<\/p>\n

Surviving are his siblings, Walter (Walt) Butler, Linda Brunette, and Schuyler (Butch) Hawley; his children Thomas, Lisa (Zimmer), and John Butler; the mother of his children, Janice Fardette; his grandchildren Kristen, Sarah, Nicolas, David, Christopher, Arthur, Jesica, Matthew, Joseph, and Jared; many nieces, nephews, and several great-grandchildren.<\/p>\n

Allen\u2019s father was from East Freedom, PA (Butler-Hollow Road) while his mother came from nearby East Conemaugh. \u00a0\u00a0He was born in Cleveland, OH yet, apart from about 15 years spent in Rochester, he was raised and spent most of his life in Steuben County.<\/p>\n

His first job was as an usher at RKO Palace in 1958. \u00a0He progressed to machinist work and home supply businesses. \u00a0Allen became very skilled in the all phases of the home construction trade; doors, windows, carpentry, drywall, roofing, siding, painting, electrical, and plumbing. \u00a0He formed a business partnership and opened Whet-But Home Improvement. \u00a0Eventually a back injury suffered on the job forced him to occasional work as a sub-contractor, whenever his health allowed. \u00a0He never truly retired and was always working on a new project in his home during his spare time.<\/p>\n

Allen was very organized and paid great attention to detail. He loved children and animals. They could do no wrong in his eyes. Allen enjoyed many cats and dogs over the years. His last dog (Lily) died in 2016. \u00a0He even cared for the birds and cats in his neighborhood until the very end of his life.<\/p>\n

At Allen\u2019s request there will be no calling hours.\u00a0 Private services will be held at the convenience of the family.<\/p>\n

Funeral arrangements are in care of the Dagon Funeral Home, 38 Church St., Hornell, NY<\/p>\n
