Walter Librock has passed away



Librock Farms has made a name for themselves as a very popular source for Western New Yorkers to get all-natural, grass-fed beef.

It's with a heavy heart that we report Mr. Librock passed away Friday at 85. Our hearts go out to his family.

Here is his obituary...

Walter C. “Sonny” Librock, age 85, entered into rest July 5, 2019 in Eastern Niagara Hospital surrounded by his loving family.

Sonny was born July 24, 1933 in North Tonawanda to Carlton and Beulah (Walter) Librock and in 1956 moved to Gasport, where he would own and operate a dairy farm until 2002.

After selling his dairy cows, Sonny started Librock Black Angus Beef Farm. He fostered relationships with many people as he would sell his products at many local farmers' markets, schools, restaurants and businesses and stress the importance of family and how working together in a family business underscored the bonds of love and support that only a family can provide.

Mr. Librock is survived by his wife of 59 years Judith, his children: Randy (Kathie) Librock, Cynthia (Kevin) Barker, Lorna (Doug) Seib, his grandchildren: Brian, Robbie, Kelsey, Ayant, Eliza, Ella, Lucaiah, his great grandchildren: Quinton and Effie Mae, sisters: Helen Muck, Elsie Kocsis, and Doris Criswell as well as several nieces, nephews and cousins.

The family will receive friends at the Hartland Bible Church, 8110 West Avenue, Gasport, WEDNESDAY from 2-4 where Walt’s Memorial Service will be held immediately following visitation at 4 p.m. Private interment will be held at the convenience of the family.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Roswell Park Cancer Institute, 665 Elm St., Buffalo, NY, 14203.
