Timothy Cradduck Obituary
LITTLE GENESEE - Timothy A. Cradduck, 65, of 7597 Miller Hollow Road, Little Genesee, passed away Sunday (Aug. 25, 2024) at home, on his favorite glider, after a courageous battle with cancer.
Born May 24, 1959, in Olean, he was a son of Charles and Marilyn Miller Cradduck.
Tim lived in the area all of his life. He had worked for the Genesee Hardware and for Faulkner's Fruit Stand before going to work for Wayne Paving in Shinglehouse, Pa., as a roller operator, retiring in 2021.
He was a member of the Bolivar Horseshoe League and was an excellent handyman, remodeling his entire home and his daughter's homes as well. He also enjoyed painting cars and was often found helping neighbors, friends and family alike.
When he wasn't working, he enjoyed being outside near the fire camping as well as snowmobiling.
He is survived by his longtime loving companion of 30 years, Tamara Ritchie of Little Genesee; his children, Tiffany Cradduck of Johnstown; Justin (Patsy) Cradduck of Jamestown and Paul Cradduck; six grandchildren; his siblings, Sue (Charles) Loucks of Wellsville, Amy (Mike Adams) Layfield of Allentown and Steve Cradduck of Vero Beach, Fla.; a sister-in-law, Sue Cradduck of Allegany; and several nieces and nephews.
In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by his brother who he was very close to, Scott Cradduck; maternal grandparents, Paul and Jean Miller; and paternal grandparents, Claude and Esther Cradduck.
A Celebration of Life for Tim will be held beginning at 2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 14, 2024, at the family home on Miller Hollow Road. Please bring a dish to pass and refreshments. There will be live music in his honor.
Arrangements are under direction of the Mark F. Rinker Funeral Home & Memorial Service, Inc., Bolivar.

Such a loss! Tim was not only a great neighbor but he was a lifelong friend! I have tons of childhood memories tucked away for safe keeping! He was such a good guy, easy going, honest and kind. A great father and friend to many. His presence on The Hollow will be missed!
