He was the husband of Phoebe L. Klopp Lafleche, with whom he celebrated 3 years of marriage this past November 8th. He had been previously married to the late Madonna Staples Lafleche, who died in 2000. Born in Barre, Vermont, Robert was the son of the late John and Rose Lefebvre Lafleche.

A US Navy veteran, Robert served as an Airman E-3 from 1955 to 1959, being stationed in places such as Hawaii, Japan, Alaska and Oklahoma. After active service, he served in the Vermont National Guard for many years.

He loved to travel, especially in the New England area, with Maine being a favorite destination. Robert was a talented artist, with a skill for drawing and sketching. He also was a big racing fan, especially NASCAR.
