Not sure what to say?

So very sorry for your loss, LaFave family. Coach was my "home room" back in the 70's. all that & so much more to so many who were lucky enough to share his space at LMHS.

What a great "ride" he had as a Coach and Educator! Two State Champions . An excellent mentor to many and I also knew him while I was Assistant Baseball coach at Lenox High. Rest In Peace.

Saddened to hear of Fred's death. You all are in our thoughts and prayers. Love Lena & Judi Robinson

Dear Helen and family, Louie and I are so very sorry to hear of Fred´s passing! He had such a big impact on so many of his students! He was a valued member of our teaching staff also! He will be missed by all who loved and knew him. Bonnie &Louie Bertocci

Dear LaFave Family: I was deeply saddened to hear the news of Fred's passing. I had the pleasure of being mentored by him as I began my teaching and coaching career. There aren't enough superlatives in the dictionary to describe Fred's example as a role model to young athletes and those wishing to assist. I coached the 9th grade basketball team at LMHS. His son Fred was on my team. It was such a joy to watch the boy's basketball team achieve success in the Western Massachusetts Tournament....

It has been a long time, but I have fond memories of Coach LeFave and his family. Fred was a constant of my childhood and had a loving heart, helping me when I needed him. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Sending love. Rest peacefully, Mr. Lafave.

Helen and her beautiful family, I'm so sorry for your loss, Fred will be missed by his many friends and by all his former students in Lenox.

To the LaFave Family, So sorry to hear about Mr. Lafave (coach) He was a positive role model to many students. I remember one of his many quotes he told me one time. It passes my mind so many times in life. " If you think you can you will . if you think you can´t you won´t." Thank you , for sharing your knowledge to us all. You will be missed.
