Worth repeating. Our condolences to the Lagasse family. The Corvette world has lost a great mentor and enthusiast. Would see and talk to Rich and Barb at a lot of shows and Carlisle. Super people. RIP Rich.

He will be missed. Rich and Barb were a treasure for the Corvette world and really enjoyable to talk to.

Great people!

Shocked and saddened to hear the news. As many have said, we have lost a true gentleman and highly respected ambassador of the Corvette community in Connecticut and elsewhere. First met Rich 25 years ago when we both worked at The Hartford. Highly respected insurance professional. Reconnected years later when I got my first Corvette. He was always ready, willing and able to share his knowledge and enthusiasm for all things Corvette. He will be missed. RIP my friend and condolences to Barbara and family.

I just found out, and am deeply saddened of the news. It was truly an honor and privilege to have met both Rich and Barb......2 of the best people on the planet.
Blessings to Barb and family.....RIP MR. CORVETTE
