    February 28, 1931 - October 17, 2021

    Mr. Richard "Dick" Lagatore, 90, passed away on October 17, 2021 at Briar Creek Health Center at The Barclay at SouthPark. His graveside service will be held on Friday, October 22, 2021 at 2pm at Charlotte Memorial Gardens. A gathering of friends and family will follow after the ceremony. Dick was born on February 28, 1931 in Atlantic City, NJ to the late Dominic and Hermine Lagatore. In his younger years, he was a professional singer in Atlantic City, NJ where he first met Rose. Dick and Rose were married on November 9, 1952, and later migrated to the Carolinas for a business opportunity. Through his hard work, he eventually owned and managed several cemeteries throughout the South. Dick was also the owner of Charlotte Memorial Gardens for many years, and was the President of the North Carolina Cemetery Association. His lifelong hobby was flying and building airplanes. Those who knew Dick would remember him for his generosity, charm and kindness. He is survived by his beloved wife of almost 69 years, Rose Helen Lagatore; daughters, Nancy Ann Cutter (Bryant) and Gina Josette Fiorentino (Michael); Dick’s brother, Thomas Peter Lagatore, and a host of extended family and friends.
