Leonard Phillip Robear

Leonard P. Robear, a longtime resident of Williston, fell asleep in death at the age of 97 on October 22, 2025 at the McClure Miller Respite House.
Alongside his wife Mary, Leonard always liked an active life. He was a man who always strived for perfection in all he did. From building the home that he and Mary shared for over 64 years (just short of 76 years of marriage), partnering in an auto body shop, in woodworking, or any other project he took on.
He was always willing to help others with theirs. He spent many years with the Knights of Columbus working on many projects at Camp Ta-Kum-Ta. Leonard and Mary were fortunate to visit all 50 states and enjoyed sharing their travels with others.
He is survived by his sister Anne and husband Lucien of Old Town, Maine and their family. He is also survived by many nieces and nephews, and a special nephew and caregiver who he considered a son, Jim Francis. He was predeceased by his wife Mary on August 22, 2024; two brothers, and three sisters.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Thursday, October 30, at 10:30am at St. John Vianney Church, So. Burlington with burial to follow at Old Mt Calvary Cemetery in Burlington.
