George LaCroix

For my big brother on what would have been his 78th birthday. I miss you George and always will. I take comfort knowing you are no longer in pain and hitting a baseball out of the park in paradise. Love you big brother!!!

I cannot believe it is going on a year big brother since you´ve been gone. I think of you every day and I smile when I go through the old neighborhood where we grew up. I see you playing basketball at the playground and walking me home just talking with you and telling you about my day. You listened and were interested. I miss you big brother!! Love your sister Marie

I didn't know Mr. LaCroix, but I knew Mrs. LaCroix. I am sorry for your loss. I was a student at Randolph High school. Class of 1984. I wanted to let my favorite teacher of all time know that she was an incredible teacher and cared for her students. I have thought of you over the years many times. Thank you for listening and being there for me. My name was Eileen Galvin, now Eileen Powers. I am widowed also. I am so happy you stayed in the school administration. Bless you always.

I went to school with George, I didn't really know him that well, but wish I did after reading all he wrote in his obituary, surely a wonderful man. Just love how he went through life with a sense of humor. RIP George.

To the Lacroix Family, I'm sorry to hear of Grorge's passing. I myself grew up in Attleboro, Dodgeville to be exact. What brought my attention is my mom's maiden name was Lacroix, she (Stephanie)& her twin Stephen who went by Butchie were raised on Seekonk until my mom moved to her aunt Tiny's house on Henshaw Ave.. I used to ride my bike in parking lot of big block.. small world, your husband sounded like an amazing man with the most cheerful obituary
I hope you think of George and smile.

my deepest condolences,

An incredible read and a nice walk through George´s journey through a loved one. I did not know George and I´m saddened for the LaCroix family . I know George is by your sides, watching you all swing for the fences!

I'm so sorry to hear of George's passing. I always enjoyed seeing and talking with him in our office at his eye check visits! Thinking of you Maureen and your family.

I did not know George, but what a thoughtful and detailed obituary. I'm sure he is smiling down on you all as you snuggle in his quilts, and enjoy apple pie.

I was very saddened to hear of George´s passing. We grew up together in Dodgeville in the 1950s and it seemed that I saw virtually every day as we and other kids played several sports, including particularly baseball, on a pick-up basis. George was a true friend and unfailingly decent person who treated everyone with kindness and was universally liked by all who knew him. I and many other will miss him deeply.

George and I were on the same soccer team at AHS way back last century. The coach often mispronounced players last names. Therefore LaCroix was pronounced as "LaCrow" by Coach Aguier. This resulted in a teammate rewriting the lyrics to the theme song of the television show "The Adventures of Robin Hood." ie., "Robin Hood, Robin Hood riding through the glen. Robin Hood with his band of men," etc. A team member changed the song to the following:
"George LaCrow, George LaCrow flying through the woods-George LaCrow, George LaCrow with his band of crows-hated by the farmers, loved by the crows-George LaCrow, George LaCrow, George LaCrow".
George laughed along with us and was always a good sport. Sorry I lost touch with George because we had things in common I´ve learned-like working with autistic children. I´ll always remember George and the assortment of personalities on that team. God bless George and his family. Duane Johnson, Lockes Hill Rd. Gilford, NH

Our condolences from our family to yours. His words are incredible. So very thankful to experience such a beautiful family even in the darkest of times. Thank you very much for showing your thoughtfulness in such a heartbreaking time. It just shows how wonderful and full of love your family is.

Maureen, my deepest sympathies over your loss of your long time husband, George. I must add that the obituary was stunning and heartfelt.

I went through school with George from Finberg Elementary School through Attleboro High School. He was one of the nicest people I ever had the pleasure to know. I last saw George (after many years) at our AHS 75th birthday party/reunion in September 2022. I had the opportunity to meet Maureen for the first time. It was evident to me that they had a special kind of love. I am so happy I got to visit with them. Rest in peace, old friend.

I lived in the "big block" and remember peeling potatoes with Sue. I always called you guys cousins because we were related somehow. Sounds like George had a fulfilling life. My condolences to the family.

I graduated high school with George. After more than 50 years, my husband and I became reacquainted with George and his "jewel" and lovely wife Maureen.
What a pleasure to get to know them. George was an "original" and a great guy.
We learned how much he loved his family, about his adventures in life and what a great sense of humor he had. Condolences on the loss of your loving husband,,father, grandfather and sibling.
RIP George, you had a good life and you did it your way.

I fondly remember our rides to Bridgewater State and the parties which we attended. I tried to get in touch when I got out of the Army but he no longer lived in Attleboro. He was a great guy. So sorry for your loss Maureen.

I did not know George, but his obituary was fabulous!

After graduating from Attleboro high school together and about 54 years later we were lucky to reacquaint with George and his " jewel " Maureen.
Reunions and a 75th birthday for our class found us enjoying this devoted couple. George was an original .
We took away his love for his family, his adventures and sense of humor.
Our hearts go out to his family with the loss of this loving man.
RIP George, you did it your way.

I did not know George LaCroix but after reading his self-authored final roundup how I wish I had. May many, many happy memories help to sustain George´s loving family.

You can FINALLY take the arrow out of your back, Corporal Agarn. Thank you for always having mine. XOXOXO

So sorry for your loss, Maureen and family. May your wonderful memories of this life well-lived sustain you at this difficult time.

To my big brother George. You were my childhood hero. You could do anything and do it extremely well. You read stories to me, taught me how to tell time and skated with me on Brennan´s pond. You were a great big brother. I will always have my memories of you and I walking down memory lane regarding our childhood in Dodgeville along with our adventures in the Big Block. You are no longer in pain. I will see you again on the other side when we will all meet up again. Please but in a good word for me! Love you George. Your sister Marie

We are so sorry for your loss. What an amazing man. He called your mom his jewel but he sounded like a true Gem!! May the many wonderful memories you shared help you through the grieving journey.

I remember George at all the Little League baseball games of Patrick. He never missed an inning.
