Lafe, a graduate of Marshall University and the Washington & Lee School of Law, was the founding partner of Barrett, Chafin, Lowry, Amos and McHugh, a former assistant prosecuting attorney of Cabell County, tireless advocate of the labor movement, a generous benefactor of Marshall University, a 32nd degree Mason, former Democratic Party chairman of Cabell County and a trustee of numerous boards and foundations. Following his graduation from law school, Lafe practiced law in Huntington for more than 49 years, joining James F. Barrett and Russell C. Dunbar in forming their law firm in 1958. Never retiring either in personality from his beloved profession, Lafe maintained an active law practice until his death. Upon the occasion of his 70th birthday, Lafe was honored by hundreds of his friends at a roast at the Radisson Hotel, during which the endowment of the Lafe C. Chafin Scholarship at Marshall University was announced. Through his unflagging efforts and passion for the working men and women of this state, Lafe became a pioneer in the field of labor law and, due to his uncompromising honesty, was respected and revered by friends and foes alike. Lafe never shied from controversy or unpopular positions if convinced of the justice and right of his cause.
