    Gamewell

    I regret to advise that Eugene E. Garnes, age 67, a resident of Hyde Park, NY, passed away on Saturday, January 28th. We knew him as Gamewell. Gamewell was a pleasure to work with as a Moderator. He had a calming presence in the moderator room. When there were battles, he'd interject a natural fairness to help sort out our differences and ratchet down the temperature. May he rest in peace. He will be missed.

    Eugene worked for many years as an engineer for NBC Universal at 30 Rockefeller Plaza, NYC. He was also a union rep for Nabet-CWA Local 11, helping promote equality and fairness in the workplace, as well as settle any disputes. Gene was a volunteer firefighter for 34 years, first for the Pleasantville Volunteer Fire Dept, and then for the Town of Beekman. He was also the Vice President, on-air talent, and Broadcast and Technical Engineer for his radio station, WBXO Radio as well as a board member for Pawling Public Radio. Radio was his passion, and throughout his radio career, he worked with many big names in radio including Soupy Sales, Howard Stern, and Don Imus. Gene was also a member of the Freemasons.

    Gene was a fair and reasonable person who always showed kindness and care for those he interacted with.

    This is truly sad news, and I will see able adding him to our site banner.

    He was a great guy, which, by the way, come in both red & blue. I'm hoping to make 70 (8/31) but nothing is guaranteed. Six months ago I was stuck in a nursing home thinking I had already taken my last breath of freedom. It's a sobering thought. Live everyday like it's your last.

    RIP Gene, we disagreed often, and I wasn't always kind to you. I'm sorry, I will endeavor to do better in your honor.

    This is so sad. Gamewell was one of the good guys for sure. So sorry to hear this.
    We are all brothers and sisters in humanity. We are all made from the same dust of stars. We cannot be separated because all life is interconnected.
