William J. Lebda

Lebda, William "Bill" J., 94, longtime Bethpage resident, passed away June 3, 2023. Beloved husband of 68 years to Marian. Loving father of Christine Bergin (Jim) and Donna Gaudet (Doug). Cherished grandfather of Adam, Ryan, and Jake. Honorary member of the Knights of Columbus. Bill was an avid bowler and card player. His favorite card game was Pinnacle, but in more recent years he would play "two-player" solitaire for hours to pass the time. He was an incredibly proud Papa/Grandpa to his three grandsons. Up until the very end he still had the best sense of humor, and the most optimistic and positive outlook on everything. He always said he never had a bad day in his life. Anyone who got to know or meet him, even if they were only in his presence for a few minutes, was truly lucky. The family will receive visitors Wednesday, June 7th, 2-4 & 7-9 pm at Arthur F. White Funeral Home, Inc., 234 Broadway, Bethpage. Funeral Mass Thursday, June 8th, 10 am at St. Martin of Tours RC Church. Interment following at St. Charles Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Bill's name to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, stjude.org.
