William Joseph LaBurt

I have known Bill for many many years and he was nice young man. My three boys, John,Steven,and Todd used to visit the LaBurt boys in Tuxedo. They all send their sympathy and prayers.

Although I had not seen Billy in many years I do have fond memories of time spent with him and his brothers in Tuxedo. Our prayers are with his family and loved ones.

To Billy

Billy, you were there with us during the times of joy and you were there being part of the joy; and in our darkest hours, moments and days of anxst and despair, through our deepest pain and most unbearable grief, you were there beside us all along too; you gave us your shoulder to cry on and you cried with us. You were never "just" a relative and far more than "just" a cousin--you, your brothers, sisters, Aunt Paula and Uncle Bill were a part of our every-day lives, and for...

To The LaBurt Family
It was with great sorrow that I read of Billy's passing. I'll always remember with fondness the many days we spent together while on Nelson Road.

Billy my big brother you will always mean the world to me. I will always remember your wonderful laugh and how much you loved us and how much we love you. I will miss you so very much.

When Billy and I were teenagers we would sometimes do things together, sometimes fight, but always find something to laugh about. We were always able to find humor in the most trivial things. Billy could make me laugh and lift my spirits. I pray today that God lifts his spirit as he did mine.
With love,
your cousin Brian

On Nelson Rd in Greenwood Lake, NY, there were a handful of neighbors who gathered together for holidays and other occasions. I remember the 3 LaBurt brothers and 2 beautiful younger sisters with fondness. Although we all lost touch years ago I still remember the times we enjoyed as kids.
I was very saddened to hear of Billy's passing as was my Mom (Lucy) and Aunt (Catherine). My thoughts are with you all during this difficult time.

For Kevin, Dennis, Karen and Kristen:

Many years ago, Aunt Lillian Smith said to us about our children that "They just don't understand how much they mean to us." What we have to say to you today is that perhaps all of you don't understand how much you mean to us.

After the shock of Billy's illness, the emotional see-saw between hope and despair, the numbness that follows death--after all this--reality and the unthinkable has set in: We have lost another child.

Never...

Bill was like a younger brother to me. I will miss our weekly talks and wish we could have seen each other more often. I will always remember the great times that he and Betty, Carol & I had together. He will always remain in our hearts and left us all too soon.
