Louis E. LaGrand Ph.D.

Very sadly, I just learned of Louis's passing and am deeply sorrowful for his family's loss. I first heard him speak at the very first ADEC conference I attended in 2005 and remember being mesmerized by his talk on Extraordinary Experiences of the Bereaved, which have informed a great deal of my own life's work in animal hospice over these past 23 years.

To the Family: Lou helped my wife and I so much when our to adult children passed in 2013. We had read his book in Indianapolis and just "happened" to be vacationing in Venice that summer. A truly great man. Blessings to you all. Jim & Marty Julien

Dr. Lagrand meant so much to so many. His legacy will live on through the thousands he touch.
For me it was meeting him at Potsdam in 1969. I was lucky that he would be assigned or volunteered to coach the tennis team. I can remember his wisdom then and until we communicated in January.
He always believed in me and for that I will always be grateful.
I loved Coach Lagrand and all the knowledge he shared with me.
