Born in Fall River on November 16, 1936 to the late Austin J. O'Toole and Julia F. (OBrien) O'Toole, Larry attended the Somerset Village School and was a 1954 graduate of Somerset High School. He then went on to the University of Massachusetts to earn a teaching degree and taught for 30 years in the Massachusetts public school system, retiring in 1991. He was also a United States Army veteran.
Larry loved sports, basketball in particular. He played on the Somerset team that won the Class C championship in the Boston Garden in 1954. He coached youth basketball for years in Somerset & Uxbridge and coached high school basketball at Blackstone-Millville Regional High School, in Massachusetts. He was a successful coach at every stop. He really loved the Celtics and the Drew Bledsoe-Patriots. Larry loved to follow politics and was an avid reader, often reading multiple books at the same time. In his retirement he enjoyed sharing his interests with his children and grandchildren.
