Obituary

William J. Lemieux, 89 of Colton, NY; Edgewater
Florida, deceased 11/27/2020: Dad, Ace, Poppa, Big,
Grandpa, Grampy, Daddy-O, Bill. A man of many
names who can be described easily by his personality
traits…honesty, integrity, generosity, kindness and
loving.
Bill grew up in St. Regis Falls, NY. The second oldest
of four kids (Joan, Bill, Jack and Jim) to a French-
American father, William and Irish Mother,
Genevieve. He lived in St. Regis Falls and helped run
the family grocery store until joining the Naval
branch of the armed services. During his time in the
service, he met a lovely young lady in Florida. Her
name is Beverly June who eventually agreed to marry
him and take care of him for the next sixty-six years,
through better and worse, with love and respect
throughout.
They had four children during this time Billy, Donna,
Nan and Tim, six grandchildren Ari, Joel, Marnie, Cai,
Nathaniel, Mya and one great grandchild Scout. The
family primarily lived in St. Regis Falls and Canton, NY
where Bill acquired Clark Insurance Agency and
Potsdam Insurance Agency. Bill and Bev later resided
in Colton, NY and Edgewater Florida. Even though Bill and Bev hit rough times with the onset of
Bill’s dementia and added complications from cancer, he still remained brave without self-pity.
Beverly was by his side always, and never more so than when Bill died, with an uncompromising
and unending amount of love, comfort, care and support.
A lot of people say it, some may believe it, but fewer still can know for certain…their Dad was
their true, bigger than life hero. He will not be forgotten. One can only hope to be half the
person, parent, spouse and friend he was. Please keep Bill in your thoughts, and for those who
knew Bill, tell a funny story or two about him with a smile to keep the memories alive. Rather
than formal services, a celebration of his life will be forthcoming. In lieu of flowers Bill and
Bev’s wish would be a donation to Hospice in your home area.

    I was one of his caregivers. He was a great man. Cared for everyone he met. Loved his cookies and cakes and Bev always made sure there where fresh made one's. I treated him like he was my father and will always remember him. The heavens gained a great angle.
