KALAMAZOO (WKZO AM/FM) — Governor Rick Snyder has ordered that flags be lowered to half-staff Thursday in honor of former Kalamazoo State Representative Ed LaForge, who died last Friday.
“Ed was a champion for social justice and human rights and will be dearly missed by all who knew him,” Snyder said. “I send my most sincere condolences to his family, friends and community.”
Services for LaForge, who also spent ten years on the Kalamazoo City Commission, will be held Thursday at 3:00 p.m. at Langeland Family Funeral Homes, at the Westside Chapel.
