October 3, 1935 — March 5, 2018
ENOSBURG FALLS - Silas Leroy Hurlbut, Jr., age 82, passed away on Monday, March 5, 2018 at Birchwood Terrace Nursing Home in Burlington.
He was born in Berkshire on October 3, 1935 to the late Silas Sr. & Ruby Hurlbut.
Silas served in the Army during the Korean Conflict as a Military Police Officer. After three years of active duty he transferred to the Army National Guard. Silas worked at the Pulp Mill for thirty-eight years before retiring. Silas and his life-long partner Ardelle were members of the American Legion for over fifty years. During those fifty years they loved to travel all over the state for legion conventions.
He was also an avid bowler and he enjoyed bowling on a team with his buddies on Monday and Wednesday nights for over 30 years at the Enosburg Dairy Center. He brought home many trophies from the tournaments he attended over the years. Following retirement, Silas loved to sit in his rocking chair, watch baseball games on the television and watch the birds outside that he fed every day. His other love was his cats, feeding treats and spoiling them with all kinds of toys.
