MICHAEL L. “MICKEY” DININNY
HORNELL -Michael L. “Mickey” Dininny, 65, of 7 Cook St., a loving husband, son, father, grandfather and brother, passed away Sunday afternoon (Nov. 28, 2010) at Robert Packer Hospital in Sayre, Pa.
Born in Hornell on Oct. 17, 1945, he was a son of George Richard Dininny, who predeceased him and Blanche DeGraw Dininny, who survives. On Oct. 7, 1972, he was married in Brewster, New York to Margaret “Margie” Pedersen, who survives.

He was a self taught man who enjoyed carpentry, computers, photography, gardening, cooking, and especially barbecuing. Mickey was an enthusiastic traveler who also enjoyed water and snow skiing. Besides spending time with his family, Mickey’s favorite mode of relaxation was sitting on his front porch, “refreshment” in hand, watching the world go by.

Besides his father, he was predeceased by his daughter, Kristen Dininny; his brother-in-law, Richard Clancy and his mother-in-law, Agnes Pedersen.
Calling hours are from 5-8 p.m. Thursday at the Bishop & Johnson Funeral Home, Inc., 285 Main St., Hornell where a funeral service will be held at 11 a.m. Friday with Deacon Robert McCormick officiating. Committal services and interment will follow at St. Mary’s Cemetery, Town of Fremont.

I am very sad that Mickey is gone. I am happy he is at peace. I smile when I think of the fun we have had over the years and the great visit we had at this summer’s party in CT. The world has lost a great man. You will ALL be in our prayers.
With much love, Steve, Julie, Vanessa and Dana
I’m very sorry to have learned of Mick’s passing. I worked with Mick in the Kanona DOT shop for a number of years and always found him to be a great friend and co-worker.
My thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family.
Mick was the first member of the family that I met after I met Robbie; I give him my highest compliment – he was a regular guy. He’s going to be missed.
