Courtesy Ruckus Ride for the Devin Denoncourt Memorial Scholarship Fund When Devin Denoncourt passed away last year, a great friend was lost...he was also a son, a brother, a fiancee, a father, and a boss. On top of that, he had been the organizer for a motorcycle ride that a group of friends would try to do every year. Although he had moved away from New England, Devin even flew back from D.C. the previous year and rented a bike, showing how important it was to him to stay in touch with his friends. Devin and his buddies had talked about making it a charity ride in the future. For the worst possible reason, his wish became a reality. Devin always called it the “LA Ruckus Ride,” since it was a Laconia High School reunion of sorts, so that name will live on. On Aug. 29, family, friends and members of the Lakes Region Scholarship Foundation got together to raise money for the Devin Denoncourt Memorial Scholarship Fund to honor his memory and help LHS students pursue their dreams for the future. Anyone wishing to support Devin’s fund may send donations to LRSF, PO Box 7312, Gilford NH 03247-7312 or through PayPal available on their Web site: www.lrscholarship.org.
