Robert Lachance

My condolences to Bob's family. Rest in Peaace Command Sergeant Major.

I was associated with Bob while serving in the Rhode Island Army National Guard. He was well seasoned after years of leadership experience and shared a number of helpful insights with me as a young officer. He was the essence of Special Forces. He will be missed.

It was a sad day to hear of Bob's passing. He was a great soldier who gave me advise & recommendations that were always right on. Bob was a great person in and out of uniform. He achieved alot thru out his life, and made many friendships along the way. To the Lachance Family my condolences to you all. Rest in Peace Soldier. ""Airborne""

My heart is heavy. Bob was instrumental in keeping me heading in the right direction when I was a new lieutenant. His advice and recommendations were always right on the money. I was also a banking client for many years and I trusted him as a brother. His memory will live within me forever. God speed my friend.

The time comes for us all. Really good soldier and a really good man. We were both in the Special Forces together. I liked him a lot and also honored him. Great sense of humor and always called it as it was.

Bob always made me smile. No one could tell jokes as well. His outgoing personality made him easy to love and to like. He was a good listener and a good storyteller. He will be greatly missed.

To the Lachance family so sorry to here about your loss, Bob was a good man big heart ,peace to all.

To the Lachance Family please accept my sincere condolences. Bob was a true Patriot and Friend, may he Rest In Peace. God Bless.

I was a little boy when Bob, who worker for a cleaners, would stop by the house to deliver or pickup and he and my mother would have long conversations. Our paths crossed again when I enlisted as a Private in the Special Forces. Our careers were joined one last time when I was the Commander and he was my Command Sergeant Major of the Troop Command (Special Forces). I was always in awe of the love that he and Milly had for each other. My sincere condolences to Milly and all the Lachance family.
God speed my friend,
Colonel (Retired) Stephen Kelley
