We said our final goodbyes to our much loved uncle, Erwin LaBar, who passed away at the age of 89. He passed away in the tranquilly of a serene night, surrounded by the familiar warmth of his comfortable home. The trip that Erwin took during his life spun a tapestry of beloved memories, leaving an indelible impact on the hearts of those who had the good fortune to know and love him. Erwin was born and reared in the close-knit village of Freemansburg.
The events of Erwin LaBar’s story take place against the backdrop of a small, tight-knit town that he was deeply pleased to name his own backyard. Erwin had a soft spot in his heart for Freemansburg, specifically because of its charming streets and the people he knew there.
When he was feeling down, he would frequently take comfort in driving around the streets of his childhood, reminiscing about times gone by and savouring the atmosphere of nostalgia that surrounded him.
Erwin’s passion for the community was a thread that connected him to cherished memories and ties that would last a lifetime. His roots ran deep in Freemansburg, and he had a strong connection to the town.
