With great sadness, our brother, André M. Lavertue, was called home and reunited with our parents, Antoine (1983) and Gilberte (2000) on Saturday, June 2, 2018.
Born in New Britain on November 10, 1953, he attended Gaffney and Temple Schools, and was a longtime resident of Plainville. Despite his disabilities, André lived an active life and had many talents. An award winning artist, he earned the grand prize at an international art competition at Columbia University while attending Temple, and went on to create many colorful masterpieces over the years. Additionally, he participated in the Special Olympics, where he excelled in bowling, taking home the gold medal. André’s blue eyes, warm smile and big hugs will be greatly missed by the many lives he touched.
He leaves behind his sisters, Jacqueline Lavertue and Patricia Lavertue, both of Plainville and Rita Lavertue of Bristol; his aunt, Rejeanne Suprenant of Plantsville; and several cousins in both Connecticut and Canada.
