He married the love of his life Susan in 1973 and they raised a loving family and generated many friendships and memories. Ron was employed by Electric Boat as a Sheet Metal Supervisor for 34 years retiring in 2010 and spent the majority of his retirement camping, fishing, sitting by a bonfire with his son, attending UCONN Basketball games with his daughter, and spending time with those he cherished most, his family and friends.

He is survived by his wife of 40 years Susan (Crim) LaBrecque, his son Jon-Paul LaBrecque and wife Bridgett of Canterbury, his daughter Jennifer (LaBrecque) Tew and husband Matthew of Columbia, mother and matriarch of the family Alma LaBrecque of Bloomfield, his three sisters and brothers in law Diane and Stanley Krzanowski of Canton, Raymonde and Edward Daigle of East Granby , and Judi LaBrecque of Bloomfield; and brother and sister in law Steve and Mary Crim of Long Island. He is also survived by many nieces, nephews, great-nieces and a great-nephew. The family would especially like to thank the Windham Hospital CCU Unit and the ER staff for the excellent care and would also like to thank St Joseph Living Center, its nursing staff, and Dr. Leach for their kind and compassionate care.

I was fortunate to have met Ron this past summer while he and my husband were working in Portsmouth, NH. We share many conversations and laughs. He spoke highly of his family and his love for you shined through. He is a man we will never forget. We will remember him as a kind, caring man who truly loved his family. Rest in peace Ron, our deepest condolences to your family.

I met ron when we were in junior high school there was a group of us that we all became kind of good friends we had a lot of good laughs and good times. There is a poem about the dash it referred to dates on a tombstone from the beginning to the end. The dash represents all the time that we spent alive on earth. Ron had short dash but a good one and I am happy that I was part of his dash.

My sincere sympathies go to a very special family. Ron was a very special friend to me and will be missed so very much. I will always remember the times sitting at the dining room table having one too many of his cocktails made with a heavy hand. And he always looked so innocent ….Ron rolling his eyes as Suzy and I would do or say something totally ridiculous and laughing with us. He was there with good, truthful advice during a personal crisis and a big hug to let you know it would all work out alright. He taught me how to make the best spaghetti sauce ever with the big debate being, do we leave the chicken in or take it out? His preference was to leave it in, let the flavors blend. I will do that from now on to continue his wish. When Ron would grill on “the enterprise” it was always a special treat for all. So many good times!! This special man will always be present in my heart. I will always be here for you Suzy, Jon, Jen and your families. Much love to you all!
