OSWEGO – Eugene X. Perticone, 90, of Oswego Town, died Saturday February 25, 2023 at Oswego Hospital. Dr. Perticone was born in Brooklyn NY, the son of the late Eugene M. and Immaculata “Marjorie” (Dellamura) Perticone.
After earning his undergraduate degree in Education at Patterson State he enlisted in the U.S. Army where he met his future wife Nancy Hummer during their military service. After his time in the army Dr. Perticone earned a masters degree in Personnel and Guidance from Montclair State followed by his doctorate in Education from Rutgers University. He then joined the faculty of SUNY Oswego where he taught for 25 years.
For several years he served as Chairman of the School of Psychology and Counseling. He was a proponent of more comprehensive school psychology services, as well as the personal growth of those providing services. During his time on faculty and continuing after his retirement he helped many people through his private psychology practice.
Dr. Perticone was well-read and an author of multiple books including textbooks on psychology, personal mental wellness and philosophy, and the freedom and enjoyment of traveling on a motorcycle.
