5th Annual Paddlepalooza '24
This year's Paddlepalooza was rescheduled due to the extraordinary rain this year.
Eugene N. "Gene" Hockey, age 89, of Honeoye Falls, New York, formerly of Brownville, New York, and Hotel Road, passed away peacefully surrounded by family on December 23, 2024 at his home. On August 18, 1956, he married Shirley Goodison in Gouverneur, New York. The couple, introduced by Shirley’s brother Sonny, shared nearly 74 wonderful years together and made their home in Brownville for most of their married life.
Gene was known on the Hotel Road for his scale model remote-controlled tugboat, which he built from scratch. A crowd frequently gathered to watch it sail. The 5-foot-long vessel featured sound effects, water cannons, a video camera, and 2-way radio used to converse with other vessels as he passed them. Gene always got a kick out of using the tugboat to push his grandkids around on tubes at Sylvia Lake. Read Gene's Obituary Here.
