FRANKFORT: Anthony J. "Butch" Barretta, Sr., 67, a lifelong Frankfort resident, passed away peacefully on Sunday, September 21, 2014 at Folts Home, Herkimer with the love and support of his family.

On September 26, 1970 he wed the former Mary Ann Puleo at St. Mary's Church, Frankfort.
Butch was last employed at Walmart Distribution Center and at one time also worked for MDS. He adored his grandchildren and his face lit up when he was in their presence. He was affectionately called "Poppy" by them. Butch was an avid New York Yankees fan and dearly loved his canine companions, Adrienne and Buddy. During his younger years he played cymbals for the Frankfort Starlighters. He was a member of Our Lady Queen of Apostles Church in Frankfort.
