This memorial website is in honor of a great man, Anthony Lavigne, 57, born on October 22, 1955 and passed away in the autumn of 2013. We will always remember his magical smile and calm energy.  Though he had beat the odds on numerous health afflictions, he still left this world too soon.  Countless family and friends will forever be touched by his angelic presence.  

We would like to offer our deepest thanks to the Lavigne family, especially brother Phil, for the endless love and support given throughout every day of this journey. The family would like to thank St. John's Reverence Hospice, especially Cathleen the nurse, Debbie the social worker, and Paul the spiritual advisor.

Happy 68th birthday, Dad! It has been 10 years since you left us. Your granddaughter Anna is 10 this year and in fifth grade. She is growing up quickly. Her body is turning into a little woman. Luckily, her mind is still young so I can enjoy childhood with her a bit more. Leo is enjoying first grade. He has been playing soccer and robotics, and will start playing basketball this week. He is a spitting image of you when you were little. That's what the family tells me. I came home this summer and went to Windmill Pointe. It felt like you were there with us. I imagine that you are looking down upon us and smiling. Thinking of you all the time. Miss you always. Love from Japan, Anthony
