Last Charter Member of Hoosick Falls New York Dies
Leverett "Pa" LeBarron passed away Monday night.   We believe the services are going to be Thursday and Friday but not confirmed yet.  "Pa" was the only living Charter Member of the Hoosick Falls New York Aerie #2467, Instituted on December 2, 1945 and he was 100 years old.  He has donated a LOT of large items and money to #2467 over the years not to mention much service.   We already set up an annual scholarship fund in his name and the first recipient received it at graduation this past June. It goes to a Hoosick Falls Central School Senior going off for Horticultural Studies. His Daughter is Lorraine Surdam (only living Auxiliary Charter Member). His Grandson (Richard Surdam) has been an officer as well as his Grand daughter -in-law Linda being our 2 year President and current PWP.
08.28.2010 Update... HILDA AND I WENT DOWN TO PA'S SERVICE BECAUSE HE GAVE HIS DAUGHTER A LETTER TO BE GIVEN TO ME.  IT ASKED THAT I DO THE FUNERAL SERVICES. I CONTACTED LARRY ROBBILARD (NYS AERIE PRESIDENT), DONNY Y (NYS AERIE SECRETARY AND ED GRADWELL (NYS AERIE TRUSTEE) TO HELP WITH THE SERVICE. FRIDAY EVENING (8/27/2010) AT THE WAKE THEY WERE 57 PEOPLE THAT SIGNED THE REGISTER. FRIDAY 11 A.M. 61 CAME TO FUNERAL. ALONG WITH OTHERS, DONNY, ED GRADWELL AND I SERVED AS PAULBEARES. AT GRAVE SIDE, 68 PEOPLE GATHERED TO PAY THEIR FINAL RESPECTS.   THEN TO THE AERIE WHERE 70 PLUS ENJOYED A BUFFETT AND HOURS OF FAMILY CATCHING UP ON THOSE THINGS FOLKS MISSED BY NOT KEEPING IN TOUCH. PA WAS MY PARTNER FROM DAY ONE OF MY FIRST DAY OF MEMBERSHIP 4/3/1963. HE WILL CONTINUE TO BE A TRUE ASSET IN THE LESSONS OF THE EAGLES. THREE OF HIS GRANDSONS HAVE SINCE APPLIED FOR MEMBERSHIP. IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL DAY I AM POSITIVE THAT ALL THE RITUAL TEAM OF GLENS FALLS NEW YORK #2486 HAD A GREAT VISIT. THANK YOU FOR COVERING THE PUBLIC RELATIONS ON THE GOOD OUR EAGLE FAMILY CAN BE TO EACH OTHER AND HOW IMPORTANT IT IS. CHARLIE STRAUB NEW YORK STATE CHAPLIN
