Richard A. LaPorte

Rich was a dear friend of mine in our car crazy times! He was such a fun guy!

So sorry to see the passing of Richard. He was a high school friend and great guy. We had fun with our car projects! You´ll be missed!

Sending my condolences to the LaPorte family. I know Richard is laughing above in heaven. Lightning a candle for Richard.

Saddened to hear of his passing. Richie and the whole Laporte family were part of the fabric of my youth. My condolences to the entire Laporte family Eric Furtney

I went to Washington School and ACHS with Richie. He was the loveliest of humans, always sweet and kind. He had a delightful sense of humor that could cheer me up quickly. Richie was one of my "saviors" when I ran away from home senior year. He truly cared about my safety and well-being. I am so sad to learn of his passing. From the beautiful tribute you wrote, he remained a blessing to all who knew him. May you find peace in your memories.

"A marine has passed away today." You have secured your final beachhead. You stand relieved from your post. A job well done fellow sea veteran. America thanks you for your service to our country in the defense of freedom and democracy. The final battle is now over and peace has been restored. You may now turn in your weapon for a cross. The final bugle has sounded and taps is about to sound ending a successful career as a nation´s defender. Farewell fellow veteran. A Navy Vietnam...
