Fred C. LaRock, Sr.

SUTTON – Fred C. LaRock, Sr., 89, of Sutton died Sunday March 24, 2019 in Beaumont Skilled Nursing and Rehab. Ctr., Northbridge. He was the husband of the late Grace M. (Titus) LaRock for 68 years.

  1. Dear Jessica,
    My prayers will be with you today and with your family as you say goodbye to your Grandfather. You have wonderful memories to keep within your heart. I believe he is with your grandmother and those two angels will watch over you and your family until you meet them again.
    I want to thank you for sharing your family with all of us over the years. You have shared the good and the bad—we have laughed, celebrated, and cried with you. I will miss reading about the antics that your Grandfather seemed to always be a part of. What a precious picture with that big smile to honor him.
    May you find comfort and peace today and always.
