He was a graduate of Parkview Baptist. He worked primarily as an Auto Mechanic as his passion was working on most anything that had a motor and always welcoming a challenge. He especially loved old "classic" cars and trucks. During his younger years, he enjoyed fishing, camping and hunting. Mr. LaLonde prided himself in being like "James Dean". He was a man on his Harley, living life to the fullest, with character, a kind, generous and loyal heart, afraid of nothing. Mr. LaLonde will be most remembered for his sense of humor. His greatest times were shared with his precious angels, his wife and daughters, dressing in pink and playing "tea party".
