I just learned of Tony’s passing. I am so sorry to have not known earlier. He was a character for sure and one not easily forgotten. My sympathy for his friends and family. Rest in peace.

Tony and I were both into photography, and I found him a soft-spoken gentleman. RIP

Just today, I found out about Tony. I remember Tony back in Holy Name, Sacred Heart and throughout high school. Tony and Peter Massi always together taking pictures for the year book. I carried on a friendship, through distance, off and on, with Tony over the years, but hadn’t heard from him in the past year. My condolences to Tony’s family. Tony, I will miss our chats. Until we meet again……………………..

Tony was my life long friend. We rode bikes together, fought like siblings and were the best of friends… I moved away and lost Tonys address… I knew that he was a friend to many so I sent a letter with NO ADDRESS to Kirkland Lake…. with Tony Larocques name on it… Tony would tell me the story of the mailman walking into the grocery store hand delivering my letter to him. He was the best friend to talk with…he did not hold anything back….. I MISS YOU MY FRIEND

Tony will be missed. Words from my Dad, John Larocque, “He was a good lad!” Tony would check in with me every once in awhile to see how everything was, which was very thoughtful and kind. Unfortunately, his health gave him a hard time but he was always positive and pushed on. Tony is now at peace.

Monica Larocque, March 1, 2021

We had many mutual friends in common and would run into each other at various events. I’ll never forget his simple yet fancy, yummy desserts! He will definitely be missed!
