My dear brother-in-law, you will be missed. One fond (and kind of funny) memory I have is when you and Judi took me to see Peter Frampton in concert. I was probably in my early teens. This was the first (and only) time I have seen someone fall asleep at a concert! Now you can Rest in Peace forever with your own style of music. Love you!
Dear pa, I miss you already my favorite memory of you is when mom told you to take me out to do something and she would pay you back later so we went to the pet store and you bought me a hamster. Only $100 later.
Dear Haley, Tracy & Judy, A favorite memory I have with the family was the day we all went to Six Flags together after seeing Haley in competition for Gymnastics. My nephews came with us. The kids were all running in front of us to get to the next ride. Dave (pa), Me & Mark had to rest at each bench we could find. Judy in her scooter. We had some good laughs that day !!! That was 1 big park. But such an enjoyable day. Rest In Peace Dave (Pa). Love the LaChance’s
Pa, thank you for being another grandfather to me. i love you always and forever🤍🦋
