Jacques Reynold Laroche (1949 - 2025) first immigrated to Montréal from Haïti in the 1970s, and then settled in the US in the 1980s. He was an artist, a businessman, a husband for over 50 years, and a father of two. He had a big heart, loved to talk, and was always up to telling a fun, embellished story. Most of all, he was known for building community, spreading wisdom and giving sage advice.
