Jeffrey LaGrange Obituary
Jeffrey Todd LaGrange, 73, of Middletown, was born on February 9, 1948 and died on Wednesday, September 1, 2021. He was the son of the late Robert and Dorothy (Dugan) LaGrange.
Jeffrey grew up and went to school in Westchester County, New York, mainly Katonah and Mt. Kisco. He graduated Pace University in Pleasantville, NY in 1973 and continued his education studying law from 1993-1995. Jeffrey discovered his love of writing while discovering his love of theater. He combined the two and began a career writing and reviewing for the theater working on a monthly column "On Stage" for The Chronicle published in Middletown, Connecticut. Although a native New Yorker, Jeffrey moved and worked in Middletown since 1977, most recently for the City of Middletown Board of Education.
Jeffrey was the proud father of one son, Brandon and his wife Rebecca and the proud grandfather of two grandsons, Xavier and Grayson.

I fondly remember Jeff from working together at Xerox/Field/Weekly Reader in the 80´s. He was kind and funny.

Jeffrey´s Family, I´m so sorry to learn of Jeffrey´s passing. I worked with Jeffrey for several years and I used to love our talks. He was so passionate about the theater, especially "les miserables". He told me his mom introduced him to the theater when he was a young boy and I could tell he adored her. I´m sure Jeffrey will be missed by his family and friends. I know he had struggled with his illness for too many years and I know he is pain free and at peace now. My deepest sympathy to his family.
