Publish in a newspaper
The family is hosting a gathering in remembrance that will be at 5 p.m. on July 27, 2024, at Wolfe Funeral Home in Fort Mill SC.
Born in Lowell, MA, Bob was the son of the late Robert Leo Lafortune and Vivian Gladys Dennis. He was the grandson of Leo and Germaine Lafortune of Tewksbury, MA, and Wilfrid and Amanda Morency of Lowell, MA. He was the proud owner and operator of his own business and was an avid outdoorsman. He will be missed by all those whose lives he touched. We pray he has gone home to the Lord and is at peace.
He is survived by his children, Tara Lafortune, Ryan Lafortune, Rob Lafortune; siblings, Pamela Thomas, Michelle Schwartz, Suzanne Morris, one niece Erika Dihmes and one nephew Joshua Schwartz.
We will forever cherish him in our hearts.

We first met Bob in 2022 when we were in the process of building our home. He designed and installed our cabinets with great pride and attention to detail. My husband developed a friendship with Bob and received lots of great input from Bob regarding setting up his workshop. Bob was a great source of woodworking wisdom. Family game nights were something that Bob shared fond memories of. He often talked about fishing and hunting. He worked hard maintaining his home and property. We recently had the privilege of celebrating bob's birthday with him. Our prayers are with his family as they process their loss.

I met Bob in 2022 when my husband and I were in the process of building our home. He designed and installed all our cabinetry. Bob was very diligent in the process and was detail oriented. Over time, he developed a friendship with my husband, and he shared a lot of his wood working knowledge with him. We enjoyed the time we were able to spend with bob. He shared fond memories of game time with his family. It was our pleasure to celebrate his birthday with him recently. We are praying for Bob's family as they process their loss.

Bob was a neighbor for the past 10 years I've lived here. He was always friendly, but in the past year we have spent more time together talking about his prior law enforcement experience, politics and other issues of the day. I enjoyed his company and will miss him. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time.
