SOUTH GLENS FALLS- Lenard “Sippy” Sipowicz Jr., 52, passed away on Saturday, May 5, 2018, at his home on Hudson Avenue in South Glens Falls.
Born on January 9, 1966 in Glens Falls, he was the son of the late Lenard and Jean (Humiston) Sipowicz, Sr.
Lenard attended Hudson Falls High School and started his career as a delivery driver for Stewart’s and Hudson Falls Produce. He then worked for Pac-TiV in Glens Falls for ten years, before becoming a construction worker for several different companies in the area.
Lenard loved to hunt and fish and was a member of a hunting camp in Stony Creek called “Old Plumber’s Camp.” He was an avid Yankees fan, in spite of the fact that his family were all Red Sox fans. He was an enthusiastic cook and has been described as a “neat freak.” Lenard listened to Southern Rock, especially Lynyrd Skynyrd, but was also known to enjoy Polka music and dance.
In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by his sisters, Lori Springer and Leann Tefft; and his brother-in-law, Andre Duval.
Survivors include his children, Lauren Middleton and her husband, Joel of Virginia, Kyle Sipowicz and his girlfriend, Alma of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam; Britneigh Sipowicz of Queensbury; his grandchildren, Jaden, Kaiden and another grandson on the way; his siblings, Lynn Watkins of Hudson Falls, Lisa Bordeau and her significant other, Jeff Murphy of Hudson Falls, Linda Duval of Hartford and Lawrence Sipowicz also of Hartford; and several nieces, nephews and cousins.
A celebration of Lenard’s life for his family will be held at Lisa Bordeau’s home at 68 Maple Street in Hudson Falls, on Sunday, May 13, 2018 from 4 to 7 p.m. Everyone is asked to bring a dish to pass.
The family suggests that donations in Lenard’s name be made to The Council for Prevention, 10 Lacross St., # 1, Hudson Falls, NY 12839.
Arrangements are under the care of Carleton Funeral Home, Inc., 68 Main Street in Hudson Falls, NY 12839.

Sippy, Your will be missed! Rest easy, “If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be traveling on, now
Cause there’s too many places I’ve got to see” Lynard Skynyrd
Sippy, god rest your soul. I will always remember the great times hunting at OPC and ice fishing on lake George with you. You were great friend and you will never be forgotten! Peace.
I always had a soft spot for you sweet cousin…in bad decisions and good. You were a good soul and we certainly had a lot of fun together in our youth.. at Polish weddings, swimming, 4th of July celebrations.. I’m sorry you left this life so soon.
RIP Sippy…you’re certainly in good company.
My sincere condolences to Larry and all the Sipowicz Sisters. Lots of fond memories over at 68 Maple, and on Glen Lake over the years with Lenny & Larry. Hopefully St Peter had the angels playing Polka music to welcome Lenny home.
Sorry for this loss. Back in the day- Polka for every Sipowicz wedding, and nights of Skynard for any reason, carrying through the neighborhood. Hearing either will always remind me of my friend Sippy. Rest In Peace.
R.I.P. Sippy. We had a lot of good times! I’m sorry to see you go so soon. I will miss not being able to talk to you again. Life is unpredictable. Take care my friend.
