So sorry to hear of Mr. Laprades passing. I call him that out of respect as he was one of my best clients when I owned Classic Limousine. By best I don't mean the number of times he used our services, I refer to the person he was, a true gentleman. All my drivers, including myself enjoyed the trip to airport when Mr. and Mrs. Laprade were in the back seat.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
