Limington-Randall (Randy) Bruce LaGasse, age 68, gave up his perishable body for a glorified body when he entered into the loving arms of his Savior on October 11, 2026, after a courageous battle with dementia.
He was born in Boston, Massachusetts on January 18, 1958, the oldest son of the late Joseph and Lillian (Hill) LaGasse.
After finishing school in the Lawrence, MA school system, Randy joined the Marine Corps and after his stint in the Marines, he came home to Lawrence and had several different jobs including leather cutter in the shoe factories, but he chose the trade of painting and wallpapering.
In 1979 Randy met and married the woman who would be his lifelong partner of 46 1/2 years, his wife Cindy and together they welcomed two of the most amazing children into this world, a son, Randall Jr. and a daughter Renee.
Randy and Cindy joined another partnership in 1994 and together established LaGasse Painting & Wallcovering. He retired from painting in 2023.
They packed up and left Massachusetts in 2001 and settled in Limington, ME. and after being in Limington for several years, Randy felt compelled to join Limington Fire and EMS. He quickly rose to rank of Captain, became their first and only Chaplain and an EMT-Basic. He was so proud to serve not only the community but his brothers and sisters on the department who affectionately gave him the nickname Padre'. He served from 2007-2015.
Randy was called and ordained to be the pastor at Steep Falls Country Church in 2013 where he faithfully served until 2023 when progressing dementia forced him to retire. While there, he founded Five Loaves Community Kitchen, a meal based community outreach and food pantry which Cindy carries on in his name for him.
Aside from Jesus and his wife Cindy, the greatest loves of his life, the apples of his eye, are his cherished grandchildren, Melody (Pumpkin Pie) White, Frances (Sweetie Pie) LaGasse and Weston (Number 1 grandson) LaGasse.
