View Tribute and Sign Guestbook TAUNTON – Alfred R. "Red" Lagace, 62, died Friday, November 21, 2008, in Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, following a long courageous battle with lung disease. Born in Taunton, the son of the late Roland and Theresa M. R. (Lambert) Lagace, he was the loving husband of Beatrice M. (Cardin) Lagace, to whom he was wed thirty-nine years.
Educated at the former St. Jacques Grammar School and a 1964 graduate of Taunton High School, Mr. Lagace was employed as a fork lift operator for Hall Smith-Sysco from 1975 to 1992, until he was forced to retire after receiving a heart transplant. He had previously worked for Strojny Glass Co. in Taunton. He enjoyed restoring antique automobiles, working around the house that he built with his late father, spending time with his friends, keeping up on the current political events and watching his granddaughter grow.
In addition to his wife, Mr. Lagace is survived by his daughters, Rochelle M. Lagace of East Warwick, RI, and Danielle R. Glynn and her husband Josh of Taunton; and his special “pumpkin,” his granddaughter Kayla Grace Glynn of Taunton. He was the brother of Anita Taylor and her husband Ken of Taunton and the brother-in-law of Anne Marie Lopes of Berkley, Barbara Devlin and her husband Paul of East Taunton, Leo Cardin and his wife Linda of South Paris, ME, William Cardin and his wife Deborah of East Taunton, and Peter Cardin and Edward Cardin, both of Taunton.
