William C. "Bill" Laney

I'm sorry to hear about Mr. Laney (I've always called him that since I was a kid) He was my first barber. My dad has pictures of me crying sitting in his chair, but what made it the best was the neck massager at the end. I was a parishioner at St. Matthews and Mr Laney held me as a baby and as I grew up we'd always hug when we saw each other every Sunday. Later on in life, My wife and I made the trek to Albany to visit him around 2012 or 2013. He said he was volunteering at the court house as...

Can't say enough kind things about this wonderful man. We did not get to know each other until later in his life, but the times at the gym we spent together had so much meaning. Bill had plenty of reason to complain, but never did. His positivity was beacon of light we should all follow. May you rest in peace, my friend.

Bill, you were such a great friend when we worked together at the Town of Colonie. I miss our talks and your wonderful smile. You will always be remembered with love. RIP my friend

Even though I have never met him I felt he was a good man through his daughter in law Barbara Laney who was very dedicated to going and seeing him and looking after his many needs along with Bill his son. I know he will be missed and loved dearly by his family. May you rest with the LORD and walk with him.

You are in our thoughts and prayers.

May the love of friends and family comfort you during this difficult time Matthew 5:4.
