Edward R. LaBossiere, 89, died peacefully on Christmas night at the Hospice of New Jersey located at St. Joseph’s Wayne Hospital. Mr. LaBossiere spent his career at IT&T. He and his wife, Ann, raised their three sons in Wayne, where Mr. LaBossiere continued to live until the time of his death.
He was born in Ware, Massachusetts and moved to the Packanack Lake Section of Wayne in 1953. Edward graduated from Ware High School in Ware, MA in 1938, and went on to attend New York University and the RCA Institute, in New York City.
Edward was a dedicated parishioner and served as an usher at the Immaculate Heart of Mary Church, having also been a member and Trustee of the Knights of Columbus, Council 10206.
His leisure interests kept up with the times from hours spent as a HAM radio operator, to keeping in touch via email with other computer savvy family and friends.
Edward was predeceased by his loving wife of forty-five years, Ann (nee Hoar) LaBossiere. He was the devoted father of Richard LaBossiere of Green Pond, NJ, Paul LaBossiere of Rye, NY and Philip LaBossiere of Saddle River, NJ: He was the cherished grandfather of Robb, Elizabeth and John LaBossiere; and the much loved great-grandfather of Madeline Claire and Michael Robb LaBossiere.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial donations be made to the Sisters of Charity of Saint Elizabeth, P.O. Box 476, Convent Station, NJ 07961-0476.
