He taught and shared with them his love of sport be it baseball, basketball, golf, fishing, skiing, water skiing, jumping rope, canoeing, and even helping with unicycling. His favorite memories were created with his family and friends including trips to Disney World, Rye Beach and NCAA Final Four and many happy times on Lake Winnipesaukee and Rust Pond.

Larry´s life was an inspiration! He was a quintessential businessman who supported his clients to the highest degree. He was a great family patriarch, a great neighbor, and all around athlete and supporter of youth.
May you be enjoying endless tee times with your Kingswood heavenly buddies.
God bless you, Larry!

With much sadness I think of Larry´s passing but am heartened by so many wonderful memories made with him. Our trip to the NCAA final four was a wonderful memory as was a multi family ski trip to Sunday River. Larry was my partner on many ski outings to Tenney Mountain and Sunapee Ski Area. He was also a trusted agent when offering Insurance advice. The world was a better place because of Larry.

I met Larry on the Wolfeboro Town Courts in the early 80's. We were shooting at different baskets and some college-age students wanted to play 2 on 2. They didn't know what they were getting into. My game plan was to rebound and get the ball to Larry. We beat them twice, Larry had most of the baskets and didn't miss many shots. That began a friendship that included coaching the Kingswood girls together, many nights of men's pick-up games at the HS, and a few racquetball games in which I was greatly overmatched. It was a delight to reconnect with him two summers ago. I am sorry to hear of his passing. My prayers are with the family.

My condolences go out to you, Irene; Lee; Carlene and Brent. This actually hurts! At the same time, it brought back so many memories, including football, basketball and baseball games - even practices. Not to mention the neighborhood "stuff" - just playing ball or goofing around on Salisbury St.
There is not a doubt in my mind that Larry was just as good a husband; brother; coach and friend as he was a person. I know he will be missed.
God Bless you all!
