Sometimes the greatest acts of kindness begin with something simple—someone recognizing a need and deciding to help.
This summer, Leroy and Julia Kopp recognized a need to help children and teens while school was out. Through New Horizons Food/Fitness Center in St. Marys, they launched the Free Lunches for Kids & Teens initiative, providing free grab-and-go lunch bags throughout the summer. What began as one act of kindness quickly grew into a community-wide effort as individuals, businesses, organizations, and volunteers stepped forward with donations of food, supplies, and financial support.

On July 9th Bradford City Ambulance and Derrick City Fire Department were dispatched to 304 Olean Rd. for a one vehicle rollover crash with no entrapment and unknown injuries
Do you remember when you could hardly wait to grow older? Getting a driver’s license, staying out later, or reaching the next big birthday all seemed to fit into one eager phrase: “I can’t wait until I’m ____ so I can ____.” Somewhere along the way, that kind of anticipation begins to slow down. Life still brings milestones, but they often feel different from the ones we dreamed about as children or teenagers. In young adulthood, many of us become absorbed in work, family, and daily responsibilities. Important moments still happen—the birth of a child, a new season of life, or a long-awaited retirement—but we may not stop to think about them in the same way.

Gregory L. LOSEY, 57, of Batavia, NY, died Sunday, July 5, 2026, in his home. Born November 6, 1968, in Hornell, he was the son of Victor A. and Shirley Higgins Losey.
On September 2, 1995, in Bath, he married Janette M. Hallock, who survives. He attended Greenwood Elementary School and graduated in 1987 from Corning East High School, where he played lacrosse and was nicknamed Wheels for his fast running. He earned a degree in animal husbandry from Alfred State College and worked at dairy farms.
Beginning in 1990, he was employed by Carpet Town Furniture / Ashley Furniture, working his way up from warehouse worker to VP of Warehousing & Distribution, retiring in 2026 with 36 years of service.
If Greg could help someone resolve an issue, that made his day. He was a planner and knew what he wanted to do. An outdoorsman, he enjoyed hunting and fishing. He played euchre and Mexican train with “the six pack.” Greg loved spending time with his family.
Surviving besides his wife, Jan, are: two children, Jason Greeley of Portville and Janelle (Jeremias) Gomez of Spencerport; four grandchildren, Kamerrin, Kaleigh, Taylor, and Zayne; two great-grandchildren, Faith and Paislee; three brothers, Duane (Connie) Losey of Quakertown, PA, Michael Losey of Michigan, Jeff (Gina) Losey of Plainfield, IL; sisters-in law, Janet Losey and Kathy Losey; brother-in-law, Robert “Bob” Hallock; aunts and uncles; nieces and nephews; his step-mother, Catherine “Cathy” Losey; and six step-siblings.
He was predeceased by his parents, a sister, Vickie Losey, and two brothers, Dennis Losey and Scott Losey. A private graveside service will be Genesee Cemetery, Genesee, PA. Greg’s family would like to extend thanks to the doctors, nurses, and support staff from Lipson Cancer Institute at UMMC Batavia, with special thanks to Dr. Jones.
