Dennis “Denny” Dillon

Dennis “Denny” Dillon, 63, of Emporium, passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on Thursday July 30 2026.

Denny was born in Indiana, PA on July 2, 1963 to Marion "Cindy" (Foltz) Swank and the late James Dillon. He graduated from Cameron County High School in the class of 1982, and later Stevenson Trade School. Denny served in the Navy during Desert Storm and was deployed around the world doing tours in Europe, the Middle East, Asia and the Pacific during his time of service. He returned back to Cameron County and was married to Mary "Mert" Dillon on May 5, 1990 for 33 years before her passing in 2023.

For years Denny worked with his brother - Ed's Drywall, until the 2000's when he then worked for DCNR and PennDOT before his retirement in 2023. He was a devoted father, grandfather and partner. He loved to work with his hands, doing carpentry, mechanics or making fishing lures. He loved the outdoors and being on the water, most often with at least one fishing pole in his sights or out on a boat. He always was joking around, laughing, and making people have a good time. He was the family goofball and will be greatly missed.

Denny is survived by his daughters, Justine (Kristine) Dillon-Hughes and granddaughter Harper, of Jamestown, NY and Denise (Erica) Dillon, and granddaughter, Annalise of Staunton, VA, his Girlfriend Jodi Regulski of St. Marys, Sisters Donna "Dee" (Burt) Crowell, Laurel (John) Coppock of Emporium, brother Ed (Rhonda) Dillon of St. Mary's, as well as numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family, and friends.

In addition to his late wife, he was proceeded in death by his father James Dillon and stepfather Gene Swank.

The family will receive friends at the Barnett Funeral Home, 207 E. 4th St., Emporium on Tuesday (August 4, 2026) from 11 AM-12 PM followed by a military service accorded by the Cameron County Memorial Detail.

Dennys ashes will be spread at the discretion of the family at a later date.

Memorial Contributions may be made to Bucktail Rod & Gun Club, c/o: Carl Carlson, 125 E. Fifth St., Emporium, PA 15834 Donations will be used for club improvements, fish feed/stocking or game feed.

Online condolences may be placed at www.BarnettFuneralHome.net.

Barnett Funeral Home, Inc. has been entrusted with the arrangements.

PennDOT Cameron County Maintenance Work Schedule for the Week of August 3

PennDOT Cameron County Maintenance Work Schedule for the Week of August 3

Clearfield, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced the following schedule of maintenance activities in Cameron County the week of August 3. PennDOT performs year-round maintenance in its mission to provide a safe, efficient transportation system, and the scope of work in Cameron County for the coming week is as follows:

Joint & Crack Sealing (Hot Pour Mastic)

All of Route 2001 (Wykoff Run Road). Monday, August 3, through Friday, August 7. Flaggers in the roadway will provide traffic control during daylight hours and may deploy a pilot vehicle. When encountering a pilot vehicle with a “Pilot Car Follow Me” sign mounted on the rear and a revolving yellow light, drivers must remain behind it until it has left the roadway. Do not pass.

Crack sealing and hot pour mastic operations prevent water intrusion from seeping through cracks or joints in an asphalt road, which can lead to potholes and pavement breakup. They are proactive preventive maintenance strategies to prevent water from entering the roadways and accelerating the formation of potholes and other failures.

Patching

All of Route 4004 (Rich Valley Road) in Shippen Township. Monday, August 3, through Thursday, August 6. Flaggers in the roadway will provide traffic control during daylight hours and may deploy a pilot vehicle. When encountering a pilot vehicle with a “Pilot Car Follow Me” sign mounted on the rear and a revolving yellow light, drivers must remain behind it until it has left the roadway. Do not pass.

Most permanent pothole patching is completed in spring or summer when temperatures stay consistently above freezing. Manual patching consists of filling potholes with warm mix asphalt using a shovel. It is then leveled and compacted. Mechanized patching consists of milling paving notches, cleaning the surface, applying tack to all edges to act as a glue. A paver then places warm mix into the milled paving notches, and a roller compacts the material. If patching was not performed, the damaged road surface would deteriorate further, and PennDOT would need to completely rebuild the road or perform more costly corrective measures.

Surface Treatment

All of Route 4004 (Rich Valley Road) in Shippen Township. Friday, August 7. Flaggers in the roadway will provide traffic control during daylight hours and may deploy a pilot vehicle. When encountering a pilot vehicle with a “Pilot Car Follow Me” sign mounted on the rear and a revolving yellow light, drivers must remain behind it until it has left the roadway. Do not pass.

Commonly known as “oil and chip” or “sealcoat,” this operation is a preservation strategy used to maintain mainly low-traffic-volume roads for five to seven years. It is also used on high-volume roads to extend pavement life between resurfacings. Generally, it takes stones about two days to fully bond in the hardened asphalt. Motorists should reduce their speed on these roads until the stones fully adhere to the asphalt. This maintenance seals the road surface to keep water out, restores the friction of the surface to enhance traction, and is very cost-effective.

This schedule is subject to change due to weather conditions, emergencies, or other unforeseen interruptions.

Customers can report road concerns by calling 1-800-FIX-ROAD. If you call after hours, please leave a name and phone number.
