For 28 years Bob and his crew worked hard to keep the town maintained and roads cleared.

Debbie was predeceased by her parents Douglas R. Drum and Catherine E Burnell, her sister Darlene Romito, her daughter Catherine Marconi, and her previous husband Joseph Marconi.
Debbie was warm, loving and at times silly. Debbie grew up as an “army brat,” moving around multiple times as a kid. She learned to make friends seamlessly and put others at ease. Debbie was intuitive, often offering words of encouragement and a hug. Debbie endearingly called herself Debbie Doodles. She was affectionate towards her friends and family, giving them each an affectionate nickname. Debbie was an exceptional artist. She participated on the Tupper Lake Christian Center Worship Team for several years until moving to Florida.

Rev 21:4 And God shall wipe away all the tears from their eyes and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow nor crying, neither shall there be anymore pain: for the former things are passed away.
Born on 4/19/982 in Fremont, California to Renee Nadeau and David Sluyter.
On 4/12/22 He was called home and will forever remain in our hearts.
For anyone who really knew Christopher Jonathan Sluyter, you knew a friend, a brother, an uncle, a son, and a partner.
He was special to many people and loved his family fiercely. Chris knew pain yet still smiled when he spoke, he made jokes at his own expense, if only to find laughter where it shouldn’t be.
He never forgot to say I love you” at the end of a call and made silly faces when his jokes weren’t enough. Coffee with French vanilla creamer was his most important food group.
There are inside jokes that no one but him will understand, and stories that are only memories to look back on now.
He loved so many yet struggled to love himself. If he were here now, he would look at the world through a new set of eyes. If he were sent back for even a period, I don’t believe he would return to comfort those who mourn him, he would seek those soon to BE mourned. Even when you think you can’t go on, when it gets to hard, painful, scary, whatever you may be going through, just know that someone out there loves you.
They know your facial expressions, your jokes and your heart. There is always a reason to keep going, your life is meaningful. Chris loved being an uncle and spending time with the love of his life Leslie DeYear. Chris liked anything with a Motor in it and loved any music with base. A perfect day for him would be riding in his convertible, top down with a little rap or techno music playing on the speakers.
He is preceded in death by his mother Renee Nadeau.
He is survived by a long list of loved ones. Leslie Deyear, David R and Heidi Sluyter, Brian and Roberta Nadeau, Steven and Selina Sluyter, Chelsea Miller, Kirsten and Piper Sluyter, David J and Caroline Sluyter, Alexis and Miah Miller, Lea Green, and many others.
Chris will be forever remembered and painfully missed. Until we meet again brother, Sleep With Angels.

Walt loved Tupper Lake but when the winters became a little too cold for him, he and Judy purchased a residence in Pompano Beach, Florida.

Clint Adam Hollingsworth, of Tupper Lake, passed away peacefully at his home, surrounded by family on Tuesday, February 15, 2022, after a courageous battle with cancer.
Born in Tupper Lake, on December 19, 1974, he was the only son of Michelle Hutchins and Armon “Tinker” Hollingsworth. He attended Tupper Lake Central School, Herkimer Community College and as an adult, completed his business degree at North Country Community College.
He married his soulmate, Alison (Lewis) on June 24, 2006 and they welcomed two amazing children, Lily and Cash, into their beautiful family.
Clint was a well-known and well-respected businessman in the Tri-Lakes region, owning and operating Hollingsworth Carpentry and Renovation for over 17 years. He recently developed and constructed Sunnyside Cabins in Tupper Lake. Prior to establishing his own business, Clint worked for T. Lamere Construction for many years.
Never to have just one iron in the fire, Clint served as a village trustee on the Tupper Lake Village Board for more than two terms and most recently was elected Town of Tupper Lake town supervisor. Clint was passionate about working with town and village officials to improve Tupper Lake. He had big plans for our little town and would light up at the opportunity to discuss how he could help make it better. He also served as the Judge for the Town of Piercefield and felt blessed to officiate many wedding ceremonies as part of his duties.
Clint was also a gifted singer and musician, entertaining at many events with his band, “The Frickerz.” He was not just the lead singer in the band – he WAS the band! Such were the days, that if you were lucky, Clint would make an appearance and you would know the true measure of his extreme love for life, a good time and his true friends and family.
He also had a great love for the outdoors and each season brought another opportunity to make wonderful memories with the people he loved. During the summer you could find him on the lake or around a fire at a campsite telling tales and re-living past adventures.
In the fall, hunting camp called to him. Spending time at Button Buck, Big Rock or Duck Lake camps hunting with his father and so many close friends were some of Clint’s most cherished times. Most winters, from the time he was young to his adulthood, were spent on the ice playing hockey. (What happens at the Chazy Men’s Tournament, Stays at the Chazy Men’s Tournament). When he wasn’t on the ice, Clint enjoyed being on the ski slope making memories with Alison, Lily and Cash.
He loved his family immeasurably and it can’t be expressed enough how deeply he appreciated and loved his friends, most notably, his life-long friend, Adam Hurteau, with whom he shared a brotherly bond. Clint would be the first to lend a hand or even a bit of heartfelt advice to anyone that needed it. He will be truly missed by all that knew and loved him.
He is survived by his wife, Alison, daughter Lily, son Cash, his parents Michelle Hutchins and her fiancé Ricky Tessier and Armon “Tinker” and Glenda Hollingsworth, grandmother Sula Mandigo, mother-in-law Marie Lewis, step-sister Traci Goff, in-laws Robert (Cindy) Lewis, Natalie (Ed) McMahon, Monica (Steve) Gagnon, Heather Naegele, Tracy (Jerry) Fletcher and Jack Lewis, as well as many nieces and nephews and numerous cousins, including Melissa Howard who he cherished like a sister.
