Vernon Eugene “Gene” Wyman passed peacefully at home on November 30, 2021, following a long illness. He was born in Morrill, Maine April 30, 1939, and grew up in Liberty Village. He graduated from Walker High School in 1957. He enlisted in the U.S. Navy right out of high school and served until 1962 as an aviation machinist’s mate onboard the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Saratoga with VA-36. He married Dorothy Livingstone (Dot) on April 14, 1962, and they remained in Liberty and raised their family there. Gene was a long-time member of the Liberty Masonic Lodge #111 and the Arbutus Chapter of the Eastern Star, as well as a lifetime member of Northport VFW #6131. He worked all over the northeast for Cianbro Corporation as an electrician and millwright before retiring in 2004. Gene was also a consummate tinkerer. He could often be found in his garage tinkering away on one of his Corvairs or fixing a lawnmower, or snowblower or chain saw, or some other piece of equipment. He also enjoyed hunting, snowmobiling, and taking early morning swims at Marshall’s Shore on Lake St. George. Gene was predeceased by his parents, Vernon “Peanut” & Lucilla Hussey Wyman, and his brothers-in-law Mike Sockalexis, David Livingstone, and Leslie Luce; nephew Douglas Banks; great-niece Jillian Kennedy.
