Very sorry for your loss. My father is a Lavigne from CT too. I wonder if they were related. We are working on a family tree now. There weren’t too many LaVignes in CT I don’t believe and I have been up several times. What was his father’s name? Grandfather? I live in Myrtle Beach now too. I’m terribly sorry for your loss.
