Obituary for Robert Lachapelle

Robert Arthur Lachapelle entered eternal life on April 26, 2022 having lived a good life of eighty-eight years. He is survived by his loving sister, Lorraine Krupski, and his brother Fr. Hector. His brothers Philip, Ted, and Alcide preceded him. We expect that he didn't want to go through another baseball season with his beloved Boston Red Sox. While he is with the Lord we know he will be rooting and interceding for the UConn women's basketball team, and will have plenty of time to watch golf, which he also enjoyed playing. Robert was close to his many nieces and nephews, and loved to spend time with them. He worked in the Advertising Dept. at the Hartford Courant in five decades, retiring in 1991, and incredibly never took a sick day at work. He served honorably in the U.S. Army and Reserves from 1955 to 1958, enjoying his time while stationed in Europe. He was a longtime member of the Knights of Columbus and St. Catherine's Church, 6 Windsorville Rd., Broad Brook, where there will be a Mass of the Resurrection on Tuesday May 3rd at 10:00 AM. Fr. Hector Lachapelle, M.S., will be the principle celebrant. Burial will follow at St. Catherine's Cemetery in Broad Brook. Robert will be missed by his many family members and friends. "Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon him" and may he rest in peace. In lieu of flowers, please donate to your favorite charity.
