Aurele P. LaChance

May 17, 1930 - January 31, 2018

Aurele (Al) P. LaChance of Lawrence passed away on January 31, 2018 at Mary Immaculate Nursing Home at the age of 87. His loving wife of almost 68 years, Lucille, was at his side providing support and comfort during his final hours. Al was born in Cambridge, MA on May 19, 1930 and educated in Lawrence schools. He remained in the Lawrence area working for different manufacturing companies including Pacific Mills, where he met his future bride Lu, as Lucille liked to be called. Al retired from Raytheon Company in 1992 and spent his retirement years hunting and fishing, his lifelong passions, along with gardening and entertaining his grandchildren. Al and Lu were regulars at many Lawrence area restaurants where everyone knew his name. He loved to joke and everyone looked forward to hearing his many stories, particularly about his grandchildren. His favorite place to be was Plum Island, where he and Lu would spend a week or two every summer, initially with his children and later with his grandchildren, providing memories that will last forever. Aurele is survived by his wife Lucille (Dupuis) of Lawrence; three sons, Richard and his wife Colleen of Wilbraham, MA; Michael and his partner Peter Geotis of North Port, FL; Ronald and his wife Linda of Huntersville, NC; daughter Debra Gill and her husband Bruce of Summerville, SC; nine grandchildren and two great grandchildren. He is also survived by brothers Richard (Dick), Roland, Claude, Robert and sisters Janine and Elizabeth. He is predeceased by his parents Paul and Lumina and a brother Gerald. A celebration of his life will be held on Saturday March 3rd from 2:00 to 5:30 at the John Breen Memorial Funeral Home, 35 Merrimack Street, North Andover, MA.
