HUDSON FALLS – Gene F. Kill, Sr., 86, a lifelong resident of Hudson Falls, passed away on June 3, 2021, at his home, with his family by his side.

Born on January 17, 1935, in Glens Falls, he was the son of the late Clyde and Lillian (Devoe) Kill.

Gene was a graduate of Hudson Falls High School.

In 1952, Gene married Joan Rayno at St. Paul's Church in Hudson Falls.

He started his working career at Sandy Hill Corp. in Hudson Falls as a machinist. In 1959, he obtained employment at Local 773 in South Glens Falls, as a pipefitter, where he worked for about 40 years until his retirement.

Gene enjoyed deer hunting throughout the Adirondacks, fishing with his family and gardening around the house. In his younger years, Gene loved riding motorcycles. There were many memorable moments made at gatherings in the kitchen, where Gene could be found with a coffee cup in hand and a pile of scratch off lottery tickets. He was always up for a card game and comradery with "the guys". Most importantly, Gene treasured spending time with his family.

Gene is survived by his four children: Susan Edgerly of Argyle; and her children: Ernie, Michael and David Edgerly, Gene Kill, Jr. and his wife, Michelle J. of GA; and his daughter, Jessica Kill, Tina Malliez and her husband, Andre, of GA; and their children: Adam and Aaron Malliez and Brian Kill and his wife, Susan, of Hudson Falls; and their children: Elizabeth Groom and her husband, Steve and Mary Kill; 15 great-grandchildren; his sister-in-law, Phyllis Sanders of South Glens Falls; and several nieces, nephews and cousins.
