child born to Rosemary and Tony Pulos in 1948. Diane would follow in 1950. She would school at RIT in Rochester and live in Washington D.C., St. Louis, Indianapolis, and Houston, where she resides today, operating her own Pilates studio. John has spent most of his 60 years in Montour Falls. A 1970 Hobart College graduate, John returned home to teach at the local high school and then to operate Chef's Diner, the restaurant that Tony and Rosemary founded. John became the diner's general manager in 1985 where he spent the next 22 years of his life, until selling the restaurant in 2007. He met Maryalice Condon in 2002. Maryalice was a very successful paralegal in Syracuse, New York and was involved in a direct sales venture. She moved to Montour Falls in October, 2006 and married John several months later. In those five years Maryalice became very close to Tony and Rosemary, who lived next door to John and Maryalice. She spent hours and hours, over many cups of tea, talking with Rosemary about everything, including the home that would become, Rosemary's Legacy. Rosemary would often refer to Maryalice as her "other" daughter. Tony died in the summer of 2006 of leukemia. Rosemary died in April, 2008, just short of her 86th birthday. Both John and Maryalice could not imagine someone else living in his parents' home. They decided to make some small changes, and then to share it with visitors to our beautiful area. The home is filled with memories. You will find many family pictures and awards throughout the house, plus all those "little things" that made Rosemary so happy. |
