"He gave a lot of free advice to young, up-and-coming Democrats, and he will be gravely missed."

Mayor Donald Kasprzak said he grew up in the same neighborhood as the Wylies, and he remembers the judge fondly.

"When I was elected alderman in 1989, it was Judge Wylie who swore me in, and I was quite honored by that.

"He will be greatly missed."

Wylie was born in Montreal on Feb. 23, 1930, the son of Henry Alexander and Rose H. (Neddo) Wylie.

Calling hours will be held from 4 to 8 p.m. Monday at Brown Funeral Home on Broad Street.

The funeral will be held at 10 a.m. Tuesday at St. John's Church in Plattsburgh, with burial following in St. Peter's Cemetery.
