Newman

UUP mourns the loss of former Utica/Rome UUP chapter president Eugene Newman, 64, who died Dec. 28 in Bassett Health Care Center, Cooperstown. Newman, a professor of telecommunications at SUNY Institute of Technology in Utica, was an active union member, serving several years as a chapter president and union delegate. “Gene enjoyed the ‘sweet’ life,” said UUP Acting President Frederick Floss, noting Newman’s love for cookies, pastry, candy and other sugary treats. “He will be missed.”
