Schenectady- Gary S. Beadnell, 74, passed away suddenly on Thursday, December 14, 2023. Born in Glens Falls, he was the son of the late Daisy and William Beadnell.
Gary grew up in Rotterdam and graduated from Draper High School. He then went on to graduate from Oneonta State with a degree in Education. Gary's early career began as a Middle-School teacher in the Guilderland School District. After obtaining a Masters Degree in Educational Administration from the College of St. Rose he went on to become an elementary school principal and worked in the Schalmont and Mohonasen School Districts before ending his career as an administrator in the Albany City School District.
