Latham-
William P. Mirabile Jr., 70, passed away with his loving family by his side December 15, after a 9 year battle with leukemia. Born November 3, 1950 in Albany, he is the son of Esther Mirabile-Bustard of Altamont and the late William P. Mirabile Sr.
A graduate of HVCC and SUNY Albany, Bill spent 30+ years working for the NYS Dept. of Environmental Conservation, where he was primarily involved with the development of wastewater discharge permits for the protection of streams and rivers. While at DEC, he was also a volunteer follow up responder, helping with the clean-up effort after the 9/11 tragedy in NYC. During another phase of his career, Bill spent 4 years living in Saudi Arabia where he was proud to have managed the development of the Royal Commissions programs for industrial wastewater monitoring and discharges to the Red Sea.
Bill had a passion for outdoor activities, including hiking, fishing, skiing and scuba diving. One area that held a special place in his heart was the High Peaks Region of the Adirondacks where he enjoyed many camping trips with family and friends. An avid traveler, Bill loved sharing stories of the time spend visiting and exploring more than 20 countries around the world.
He is survived by his life partner, Beth Garabedian of Latham, her children Kristen and Stephen, mother Esther Bustard, brother Dave (Terri) Mirabile of Delanson, sisters Linda Mirabile (David) of Montpelier VT, Susan (Jon) Cember of Sleepy Hollow, Cathy (Michael) Glass of Altamont and 8 beloved nieces and nephews.
Bill wanted to express gratitude and appreciation to his loving partner and caregiver Beth, and acknowledge the excellent care he received from Dr. Ira Zackon and staff at NYOH of Albany, Dr. Robert Soiffer and staff at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston.
