REBERT - Lawrence E. February 11, 1936 - November 5, 2025

I'd like the memory of me to be a happy one, I'd like to leave an afterglow of smiles when life is done. I'd like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways, of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days. I'd like the tears of those who grieve, to dry before the sun of happy memories that I leave behind when day is done.

Lawrence (Larry) Rebert, age 89, passed away peacefully in his sleep. He was born in Somerset, NY to the late Harry Linn Rebert and Dorothy (George) Rebert on February 11, 1936. He graduated from Lyndonville High School in 1954 and received further education at RIT in Rochester, Onondaga Community College and Erie Community College. He worked at Niagara Mohawk as a meter reader in 1957 and was promoted by the company throughout the years to manager in Consumer Relations in Buffalo, and then Consumer Relations Advisor in Batavia. He retired after 37 years with Niagara Mohawk.

Larry raised and sold Labrador Retriever dogs all over the Northeast from his Oak Orchard Kennels at his home in Oakfield. He was an avid outdoorsman his entire life with numerous elk hunts in Wyoming and Montana, and hunted in WNY for whatever was in season. He made sure to pass on his hunting and fishing knowledge to all of his children starting at a very early age, and we are all forever in his debt. Larry was deeply involved with the Batavia Rotary and was a member of the Executive Committee of the WNY chapter of Ducks Unlimited, where he organized the chapters 1976 fundraising dinner.

In addition to his parents, Larry was predeceased by his wife Marilyn. He is survived by his second wife Joni Licata; children Brandon, Zachary, Steven, Terri (Biro), Scott, Sandra (Weibel), Mark and Lawrence Jr.; grandchildren Kelley Biro, Casey Biro, Emily Biro, Audrey, Jeremy Rebert, Evelyn Rebert and Nicole Rebert; and 2 great-grandchildren.
