Former Utica Mayor Ed Hanna was buried today in Utica's Calvary Cemetery after his funeral service at Historic Old St. John's Roman Catholic Church. The colorful mayor died on Friday at the age of 86. A police escort took him to his final resting place. He was also honored by a color guard.
The outspoken Hanna served as mayor for two terms in the 1970s and two terms in the 1990s.
He stepped down in July 2000 due to health problems and accusations that he sexually abused four men who worked for the City of Utica.
Hanna called the allegations lies, but the city approved a $250,000 settlement. Hanna agreed to contribute $75,000 to help cover legal expenses.
