What a lovely guy. A mentor to many and a helpful friend. A great source of inventive ideas as a technical counselor to EAA members building airplanes. And I am one who profited greatly from my acquaintance with him.

RIP MR Lapointe. I was blessed to have you as a teacher at Prince Tech in the 70's and Ellis Tech in the 90's. Your good nature was always a pleasure being around you. God's speed my friend.
