William (Bill) E. Booth Jr., 76, a long-time resident of
Newburgh and Highland NY, passed away peacefully at home on
September 7, 2023 surrounded by his loved ones. Born on
November 6, 1946, he was the son of the late Grace &
William E. Booth Sr. Bill is predeceased by his brother,
Peter Booth. He is survived by his wife of 50 years, Carole
A. Booth, son William (Billy) J. Booth, daughter Melissa
Booth Charest, son-in-law Jason Charest, his sister Judy
Laskin, his grandsons - Lance Booth, Tyler Booth and Brayden
Charest, and many nieces, nephews, and cousins. Bill
graduated from Newburgh Free Academy before joining the U.S.
Navy with his best friend, Mike DeAngelo. After he returned
home from the service, he met and married the love of his
life, Carole. They celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary
this past April. Aside from being an avid fan of sports,
horse races, coffee and scratch-offs, his favorite thing in
the world was being a father and a “Pop Pop.” He loved
nothing more than spending time with his children and
grandchildren, whether it was making them laugh or sharing
stories. Boy, did he love to laugh! One thing we will all
remember about this man, is that he loved to joke around and
smile. He was about as sarcastic as they come, a quality
that he shared with everyone he loved. His wife, children
and grandsons loved spending time with him, and he will
truly be missed. Rest in Peace Pop Pop.
Funeral service
will take place on Saturday, September 16th, 10:00 a.m. at
Cedar Hill Cemetery Mausoleum, 5468 Route 9W, Newburgh, NY
