Father William Esmond, 1923-2012
I am sad to report that the former long-serving Pastor of the Chapel of the Assumption in Huletts Landing and Our Lady of Angels Church in Whitehall passed away recently.
Father Esmond spent a good portion of his adult life in Whitehall and Huletts Landing and was loved by the people in the communities that he served. I have many fond memories of Father Esmond, including him in his Navy uniform! He will certainly be missed.
Fr. Esmond’s complete obituary is in the Post Star.
“May God support us all the day long, till the shades lengthen and the evening comes, and the busy world is hushed, and the fever of life is over, and our work is done. Then in His mercy may He give us a safe lodging, and a holy rest and peace at the last.”
