Loren Hooper La Prade

Dear Helen,the La Prade family and Steve and Danny,
I feel very fortunate to have known Loren, initially through Cathy Lewkowitz who was my best friend. I met him when Helen and Loren were first married. Cathy both loved and really liked her stepfather, Loren. Although I did not see him often, through the years each time I did, I was very aware that I was interacting with a person of strong character, humor and intelligence who had a huge love of life. He absolutely had a way of asking...

Charlie Dodt's family sends condolences to Loren's family. We know Charlie will be at the "Pearly Gates" to welcome Loren.

First to you Loren LaPrade...you'll never know how much you have meant to me...I wish so much that I could be at your memorial tonight. I have adored you since almost the day I was born. You are my dad's best friend and the two of you...well, if only I could have been around in the day of you and Dave Askins. From the stories I have heard...well, good or bad, I would give anything to have seen the two of you back in the day at Phoenix Country Club. To your family, I loved this man so...

I lived next door to Loren and Helen and we fondly referred to their patio as Tavern on the Green. How Loren loved having hiscoffee and reading the paper on that patio early in the morning and having a drink there in the evening. And oh the wonderful socializing that went on with family and friends. If I wasn't next door visiting, I would look over and see a group there, hear Loren's voice and know all is well at the LaPrade's. I miss them so much; they were such warm, friendly, fun...

To HELEN & ALL OF THE lOREN LaPRADE
FAMILY:
WE HAD TOO MUCH FUN TO LIST AND SO SORRY I CANNOT PERSONALLY ATTEND HIS CELEBRATION OF LIFE. ENJOY & HAVE FUN AS LOREN WOULD HAVE LIKED.
YES, HE WILL BE MISSED AND REMEMBERED!
