LaPlante Family,
Condolences to each and every one of you on John's passing. I worked for PHI from 1978 to 2000 and enjoyed working with John. He was a wonderful person and, when a mistake was made, would say "you can't make an A every day". Sally and I will keep you and the entire family in our prayers.

LaPlante family, Hold tight to memories for comfort, lean on your friends and family for strength, and always remember how much you are loved. My heart is with you in your time of sorrow. Such wonderful memories growing up with your family. Jo Ann Johnson Ender
I offer my condolences for the loss of Mr. LaPlante. Continue to lean on family and friends for support. God gives us comfort at Isaiah 41:10 when we mourn on occasions like this. May you find the strength to endure the days ahead.
One of the greatest men I will ever know, my sweet Grandpa. I wish I could put into words how much he means to me. In all honesty, he was something almost out of a novel. A kind and gentle soul who worked hard and never asked for anything.
I will always remember spending summers at their house and bringing in his newspaper to his spot at the kitchen table, opened to the crossword puzzle. Every grandchild was entitled to rides on the lawn mower (our own tractor!) each visit after endless hours of swimming in the backyard. Their house was the hub of family gatherings and you always felt right at home.
67 years of marriage later, with 10 children, 31 grandchildren, 34 great-grandchildren (and counting), he has finished his race. Grandpa lived a beautiful life. I will love you forever and miss you always ❤️
Mrs. LaPlante, please receive our most sincere condolences to you and the rest of your family. What can we say,but just that we must all accept the will of God,because God giveth,and God taketh away. We are here for only a short time,but heaven is our real home. Mrs. LaPlante you and your wonderful husband John,were so blessed with a beautiful family. You raised them well,with so much love and good morals and values. The love of your life and your soul mate was also the Head of your Household for 67 years and rightly so. Yesterday was the Feast of Saint Joseph,and I'm wondering if Mr. LaPlante was taken to heaven by Saint Joseph after having finished his race on earth. May God bless all of you,and I will continue to pray for the repose of his soul. May Mr. John LaPlante Rest in Peace,and may Perpetual Light Shine Upon Him,Amen... Lydia S. Saenz,Miguel Angel Romero's aunt.
Dear Laplante family, I am so sorry for your loss. I have so many fond memories of your family. Your father will be missed. I will be keeping you all in prayer.
I'm a friend of Barbara's many years back. My condolences to you all and so sorry. I remember Barbara telling me her Dad was an accountant and I didn't know what that was at the time. Later, I thought that sounded good and became a CPA myself. Much Love - Lawrence (Larry) LeFlore
