Thank you Msg Yennock for all the love and care you have given my family over the years. As families grow, they move away, but when the children came to visit and stopped at St. Daniel's Msg. knew them, names and history and names of siblings, etc. Was glad to meet spouses and children. He was together in his memories, aware and in touch with everything surrounding him. RIP Msg, and keep praying for us to be strong in faith. Maxine Robin (formerly Ziemba)
Met this wonderful man of grace 70 years ago, first at Immaculate Conception in Fulton, then became my Principal at Oswego Catholic High School. As a young boy I remember him in my neighborhood visiting elderly people in their homes and doing his priestly duties. When he became my principal, his smart guidance set me on my way in my life pursuits and his advice was right on as it allowed me to have a wonderful life. Thank God for these men who dedicate their lives to God. I wish him eternal peace.
Msgr Yennock was a big part of our whole family from going to school at st.Daniels to being part of baptisms, communions and marriages to visiting family members sick in the hospital, your kindness and spiritual guidance will always be remembered ...Thank you from the Giocondo family
I have moved away, but frequently visit family in Syracuse. A few years ago while visiting, I joined the Monsignor and others to walk and pray before Planned Parenthood. Monsignor, in his 90s, walked and led us in prayer. Such a beautiful, spiritual event. And what joy I felt as he greeted me and welcomed my being there.
I moved from Syracuse 20 years ago, St. Daniel's is where I was baptized, first communion and then confirmed. Msgr. encouraged me to be a lector. Now my family and I are active at St. Patrick's in the Diocese of Rockville Centre. This past Easter my family came up to Syracuse and we attended Mass at my home Parish. The presider of the Mass mentioned Msgr. Yennock. I found joy knowing he was still around all these later. My 13 year old son said "wow dad, this church is beautiful." A proud moment for a Catholic dad. Now he Msgr. is in heaven and God willing we will meet again someday. Thank you Msgr. Yannock for being a positive influence on me . I will send a check over to the Parish in your honor. - Kris LaGrange 8-14-1977. Lyncourt Class of 1991, Solvay Class of 1995.
Our parents were members of Saint Daniels church for many years when they lived on the east side. Monsignor officiated over both of their funerals and treated our family so beautifully. I will always be so grateful to him for his love during those times. Rest in peace, Sir.
What a wonderful man Monsignor was to me. I felt a special bond with him as he confirmed me as an adult into the St Daniels family. He even attended the wake for my mother, which meant so much to me. I had the pleasure of meeting with him one on one after his retirement and return from Covid. We had a fun time talking and laughing. His big question to me was "How is your Faith?" So we talked about my faith and I was very happy to have had that conversation with him. My sincerest condolences and prayers go out to all his family and friends.

If ever a priest will be missed it is Msgr. Eugene Yennock. He always reminded me of the humble Cure of Ars, St. John Vianney. He spoke straight forward from the pulpit the Teachings of Jesus/the Catholic Church. The Truth was part of his soul as he lead his flocks on the Narrow Path.
Msgr. Yennock was a staunch and loyal supporter of the Syracuse Right To Life Association, allowing the use of St. Daniel's Church for their meetings and always attended the Syracuse March For Life, regardless of the January weather..
Monsignor, thanks for being the priest you were and thanks for the beautiful memories. Your journey is over, you are at the Home for which you were created.
Love,
Jim Dooher
