COOPERSTOWN – Word is circulating that Lou Presutti II, 75, who founded Cooperstown Dreams Park 20 years ago and changed the economy of northern Otsego County, has passed away.

Matt Hazzard, executive director of the Cooperstown Chamber of Commerce, posted this tribute on Facebook:

“Hard to hear of the death of Cooperstown Dreams Park owner Lou Presutti. Umpired there for a couple years and he treated me very well. A strong supporter of the Cooperstown Chamber, his vision has left a lasting impression on Cooperstown and our region. RIP ‪#‎wearecooperstown

On Twitter, and Bryce Harper, a Dreams Park graduate who is now playing for the Washington Nationals, has posed a tribute on Instagram.
