Joseph M. LaVergne US Army WWII & South Pacific
J
oseph Majoric LaVergne had a wife and a baby boy at home when he was drafted to serve in the US Army during World War II. He gladly served in the Philippines, New Guinea and in Japan as part of our post-war presence. Corporal LaVergne returned home and in 1953 pursued an American dream by starting his own plumbing business. These skills were passed down to his son, Lowell, who opened his own plumbing business in 1971. Lowell would sometimes take his son, Matt, on calls and Matt would hold the flashlight while his dad repaired pipes. In 2006, Matt opened his own business, Patriot Plumbing Heating & Cooling. Patriot strives to uphold the same standard of dedicated service that Grandpa Joe stood for all those years ago. Joseph’s banner and story was proudly submitted by his Grandson Joe, Owner & Service Manager of Patriot Plumbing.
Today... and every day... we are grateful for our military service personnel, past, and present, and the families who support them. Fred H. Davis ~ Navy Troy W. Stephens ~ Army Sharon M. Davis ~ Air Force
