William L. Baxter of Montgomery, NY, a lifetime resident of the area passed away
in Newburgh, NY on Monday May 7, 2018 after a brief but courageous battle with
cancer. He was 69 years old. The son of the late William and Edythe Lake Baxter,
he was born February 11, 1949 in Newburgh, New York. Bill was a graduate of
Newburgh Free Academy and Orange County Community College. He served in the U.S.
Army Reserve and was a member of the Greater Cornwall Jaycees where he made many
lifelong friends. Bill began his long career in the food industry as a salesman
for the Campbell Soup Company. He later went on to executive sales and
management positions at several large packaged good companies - ensuring an
endless supply of cookies, crackers and snacks were always around. He was an
avid golfer, world traveler and yard putterer. He loved his Austin Healey, Lake
George and more recently his Florida home. Most of all, the lights of his life
were his grandchildren. Survivors include his wife, Linda at home, daughter
Jennifer of White Plains, NY, son Brian and wife Courtney of New Windsor, NY,
grandchildren Liam and Megan Baxter, brothers Daniel and wife Mary of New
Windsor, NY and David and wife Jari of Crestview, FL as well as several nieces
and nephews. He was predeceased by a sister, Rose Ann, and a brother, Stephen.
