Mike Lacche Boxing Magazine: July, 2014

We honor all our veterans, community volunteers and those who give to help others this month which includes Independence Day.

S/Sgt. Michael "Mike" Anthony Lacche (La'Kay) 1914 -1989 represented the fighting spirit that our service men and women take every day when defending our freedom. In coming months, we look forward to sharing more about Mike's boxing career. We honored Mike's 100th anniversary on February 13, 2014 which included a limited edition trading card.

Joseph "Joe" N. Ermer 1918 - 2012 was a wonderful role model, artist, friend and true competitor. Joe Ermer was a WWII Veteran with the United States Navy and spent every day after his military service helping those around him. Joe was a passionate billiards player and always brought the best out of everyone.

In a recent interview with some relatives, we learned new additional history of Mike Lacche and his older brother Nick Lacche. Both were sons of Dominic Lacche and Francesca Valentine Lacche; family has now confirmed that Mike and Nick had two sisters, believed to have been twins, who passed away young in Italia before the family moved to the United States.

July 27, 2014 also is the 20th anniversary of the restoration of the Lacche family name, doing through the court system in Chelsea, Vermont.
