John LaFalce

I'm not sure what brought me here in 2024.... Mr. LaFalce was my voice teacher during my boy soprano years, beginning in 2nd grade. I'm 78 now. I still have the tapes of my "audition" for Amahl and the Night Visitors. Mr. LaFalce taught me music and singing techniques I still use today. Lost contact once my voice changed but then reconnected when I was 20 and with the urging of my brother Louis, we made several tape recordings, which I also still have. My memories are of a warm,...

Light a candle and let it glow with all the love he had for life and never fogotten.

He was a kind and loving person. He was a conductor for the Community Mixed Chorus which he took over. He loved music and being with people. He will never be forgotten and always loved. RIP.

Mr. Lafalce was a loved person by all
I miss him very much. God Bless the Family.

I didn't know that Mr. LaFalce passed away 2 years ago. 88 was a great life. I was a member of the Community Mixed Chorus and he was director. What a loss. My prayers to the LaFalce Family.

My wife Paulette and I had the privilege of working with John as a fellow tour guide (John) and as ushers (both) at the Mesa Arts Center since it opened in 2005. John was an extremely friendly and loquacious man who was so full of enthusiasm for the MAC and for the world of music. We will miss him very much. Our condolences to his wife Joan and the rest of his family.

So sorry for your loss. John's obituary is a wonderful tribute to his lifetime of accomplishments. We feel privileged having spent some time with you . Our time together in Nashville will especially remain a pleasant memory.

Know that
our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Sincerely.

Please accept my condolences on your loss. May your memories comfort your heart; and God help your family during this time of sorrow. Isa.41:13
