Obituary for Laszlo Taborosi Jr.
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Laszlo Taborosi Jr. at the Providence Medical Center on Friday the 29th of January 2021, at the age of 68. Laszlo was born in Sarvar, Hungary on November 7th 1952. The family subsequently fled Hungary during the 1956 Hungarian Revolution. The family ultimately settled in New Britain, Connecticut.
Laszlo attended the University of Connecticut earning his bachelor’s degree in Business Administration. While in attendance at the University Laszlo joined the Army ROTC program and upon graduation received a Commission as a Second Lieutenant in the Transportation Corps. It was later in his Army career that he completed and received his master’s degree in Management from Webster University. He faithfully served his country for 20 years in a variety of leadership positions serving tours of duty in Korea, Germany, Ft. Leavenworth, KS and at Ft. Riley, Kan. Laszlo was asked once by one of his old Army friends, upon his Army retirement, what was his proudest accomplishment during his service. His reply was his time with the 1st Infantry Division, Ft. Riley as the 1st Division’s Transportation Officer and his successful mission in the deployment of the division’s assets during Desert Storm. Laszlo was awarded no less than five Meritorious Service medals, three Army Commendation medals, a Humanitarian Service medal just to name a few.
Upon retiring, Laszlo married Raietta Daugherity on May 20, 1995 at St. Ignatius Catholic Church, Fort Leavenworth, KS. In 1998 they were blessed with twins, Laszlo Raymond and Marcelene Ilona. Laszlo always enjoyed helping out at church with their various dinners and events. He was the secretary for the St. Casimir Men’s Society. He spent his final years working for HandR Block and the U.S. Census. He was always willing to lend a hand and always enjoyed helping others.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Laszlo and Ilona Taborosi, his spouse, Raietta and his sister, Agnes.
He is survived by his two children, Laszlo and Marcelene Taborosi, his brother Steven Taborosi and his mother-in-law Marjorie Daugherity.

In lieu of flowers those wishing to make a donation in Laszlo’s memory should do so through the funeral home to either the VFW National Home for Children or the 15 and Mahomies Foundation. Laszlo will be long remembered as a highly dedicated and involved Roman Catholic, a loving caring father, a true patriot and a steadfast friend to many.
