When the war broke out he went to Canada and enlisted for the service before the United Stated entered the war, went overseas with some of the first Canadian forces, and was in some of thee heaviest engagement. He was wounded in action, was gassed at Vimy Ridge and spent considerable time in the hospitals overseas. When he came back to Canada he was granted a leave of absence and visited his home but later had to return to the hospital for treatment and developed pulmonary tuberculosis, which was the direct cause of his death.
He is survived by his parents, two sisters, Mrs. Orin Carbino and Mrs. Anna Sucese, of this town, and two brothers Joseph Lavine, of Barnhart's Island and Fred Lavine, whose whereabouts are unknown.
