John Laflin Obituary

John Laflin, 60

Worcester - A simple man often misunderstood but recognized in his social community. Often soft spoken but opinionated and fiercely independent.

An avid racing fan & Hot Rod enthusiast, tinkering with computers and CB radios was a passion.

John loved his solitude but in his final days came home to be with his family, reconnecting him at his greatest hour of need; to prepare to embrace God's loving arms. While his life was hard in his last days he was blessed. Death came calling to John as a friend, on April 26, 2016.

Go in peace and remember him in your prayers.

The family Ruth, Charles, William & Judy, Richard, Leonard & Kerri, Michelle, Reva, Carl & John's close friend Jim.

Thanks to Metro West Hospice and Community Health link HOAP.

John's friend Jimmy told me about his passing. I often talked with John at St John's & I always enjoyed our conversations. He will be missed. I found his obituary to be straight forward and moving. I am glad John reconected with his family and I am sorry for your loss.
