Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, to all who visited us at the funeral home, attended the beautiful funeral Mass at St. Paul’s, and joined us at the War Memorial to celebrate the amazing life of Dan LaLonde. Your support means the world to us.

Many in attendance asked if they could find the eulogy that was given by Patrick. It can be found here.

Rest in peace, Dan. We love you forever.
