Paul M. Egan, 70

Enjoyed hiking, riding motorcycles

Paul M. Egan, 70, of Canastota, passed away Tuesday, July 4, 2023, at Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo. He was born June 24, 1953, in Elizabeth, NJ, and was a graduate of Rome Free Academy. Paul was employed at National Grid for over 40 years. He began his work there at age 18 as a custodian and his appetite for learning and his coursework at Syracuse University and Cornell University led him to a career in information technology. He retired as a senior system analyst and continued his work there for more than a decade as a consultant.

Paul was a communicant of St. James Catholic Church in Cazenovia. In his free time, he enjoyed hiking, riding his BMW motorcycle with his wife, and spending time with his family. Paul was gifted with the ability to fix anything and was proud of the home that he built for his family. He was driven by the strongest of work ethics and a dedication to offering a hand to any and all who asked for his help.

He is survived by his wife of 51 years,

Jo Ann Vanderhoof Egan; his children, Michele (Nathan) Fancher of Arlington, MA, Matthew (Meghan Flannigan) Egan of Westford, MA and Catherine (Nicholas Moore) Egan of Arlington, MA; his granddaughters, Elaina Margaret Fancher and Hazel Egan Moore; his brothers, John Egan of Fulton and Peter (Denise) Egan of Clay; his sisters, Mary Owen of Boonville and Annette (James) Periard of Copley, OH; as well as many beloved nieces, nephews and inlaws. In addition to his parents, Anne and Joseph Egan, Paul was predeceased by his sister, Theresa Hollis.

A mass of Christian burial was celebrated at 12:30 p.m., Monday, July 10, 2023, at St. James Catholic Church, Cazenovia. Burial was in St. James Cemetery, Cazenovia. There were no calling hours.

“We’re excited to be hosting Nelson Corners Fest at Nelson Farms again this year,” said Amanda Taranto, director at Nelson Farms. “We love our community and being able to offer an opportunity for people to come together for good food, beer, and music.”

The Nelson Corners Festival was introduced last summer in conjunction with the 13th Annual Mad Cow 5K through the Town of Nelson.

Traditionally held in the morning, the race was moved to the evening, and runners, walkers, and other members of the public were invited to Nelson Farms for a post-race community celebration featuring beer vendors, music, and food.

“The Nelson Corners Fest was conceived as a way to celebrate the Nelson community, to promote the businesses located at the Nelson Corners, and to support other local businesses in the greater Nelson area,” said Mad Cow Race Director John Dunkle, who is helping to organize this year’s festival. “Proceeds from this year’s event will benefit the Erieville Fire

Department and Old Drovers Tavern.”

The 2023 Mad Cow 5K has been canceled, but it will return next summer.

According to a message on the race’s RunSignup page, the Mad Cow Race Team is unable to facilitate the race this year due to extenuating circumstances. Refunds will be provided to those who already registered for this year.

“We will be concentrating on being back stronger than ever for the race in 2024 on Aug. 3,” the message states.

The Second Annual Nelson Corners Festival is sponsored in part by Nelson Farms and the Town of Nelson.

The Nelson Farms Country Store & Tap Room will be open the day of the celebration until 8 p.m.

“The Nelson Corners festival has become the perfect platform for local businesses to thrive, partially in the aftermath of the economic challenges brought about by the pandemic,” said Town of Nelson Supervisor James Cunningham. “This is an important collaboration with both residents and local merchants to ensure a successful festival. I’m looking forward to the festival and hoping for fantastic weather. I would like to thank everyone who has helped with the logistics and coordination required to make the event a safe and enjoyable experience for all attendees.”
