William P. Whitaker, age 75, of Balmat, NY
We were sad to learn that Bill passed away on November 24, 2023 with his family by his side. Bill had been battling being sick for a long time and fought until the end. A graveside service will be held on Thursday, November 30, 2023 at 12:00 p.m. in the Hailesboro Cemetery. Arrangements are with French Funeral Home in Gouverneur. Condolences, memories and photos may be shared online at www.frenchfuneralhomes.com.
Just a note to recognize that November 2023 marks the 20th Anniversary of the Sylvia Lake website. As a newly retired teacher in 2003, who just moved to Sylvia Lake, I needed a project to keep my skills sharp and give me a way to learn more about my new community.
Thank you for the support the website has received over the years. The goal of the website was to foster community spirit. The website's purpose continues to be "to create an online community for summer and year-round residents of Sylvia Lake." More about the site
