Joseph P. LaMarche, surrounded by family, passed away peacefully on June 10th, 2020, at his home in Valparaiso, IN. He was born October 13, 1949 in New Hampshire to Hertel and Anita LaMarche. He is survived by his life partner Diane Heredia and favorite dog Nahla.

Joe was a longtime employee of Burlington and once retired an phenomenal handyman. No job too big or too small, Joe did it and did it well! There wasn’t a project he couldn’t fix, build, or design.

He had a passionate love for nature, you would often find him bird watching on his deck or looking for animals in the wooded area behind his home.

Joe will always be remembered as an avid fisherman, family man, handyman, and dog dad!

Friends and family will be invited in celebrating Joe’s life at a private gathering later this summer.
