Lawrence Littig Obituary

Lawrence W. Littig
After a multi-year battle with dementia and short-term illness with COVID-19, Lawrence (Larry) W. Littig passed away at the age of 81 in Norwalk, CT on Sunday, May 3, 2020. Born July 18, 1938 in Kalamazoo, MI to John and Dorothy Littig, Larry was a competitive youth tennis player coached by the legendary Vic Braden. After graduating State High School in Kalamazoo, Larry attended the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, graduating with a BBA. He met his future wife at Michigan, the former Ann Strickland of Saginaw, MI with whom he had three children, John, Rip and Lisa. After serving in the U.S. Army, a long career in finance followed beginning at John Nuveen in Chicago where he traded municipal bonds. Larry moved his young family to Chappaqua, NY in 1966 where he commuted to Manhattan for many years selling municipals at firms including Loeb Rhoades, Dillon Reed, Smith Barney, Dean Witter and Integrated Resources among others. A constant in Larry's life was his love of Christ. He was an active member for many years at the First Congregational Church of Chappaqua and later Stanwich Congregational Church of Greenwich. He sang in the choir and led Bible Study at Stanwich where his detailed examination of The Old Testament was admired by many. Larry and his wife Ann shared a proud love of their alma mater evidenced by many Michigan vs Ohio State Football parties at their home in Chappaqua. In retirement, Larry volunteered frequently at Norwalk Hospital visiting sick patients as well as at the New Covenant Soup Kitchen in Stamford. He continued his active involvement in Stanwich Church well into his late 70's. Larry is survived by his son Lawrence (Rip) W. Littig Jr. and his wife Jill of Fairfield, CT, and by his daughter Lisa Ann Tucker and her husband Adam of Chappaqua, NY, and grandchildren Emma, Lauren, Trescher, Lyla, Bradley, Julia and Miles. Funeral and burial are private due to COVID-19 restrictions and the safety of all people who Larry loved throughout his well lived life.

Larry, I hope you saw yesterday's Alabama Michigan game from that lofty perch you're sitting on. Was thinking of you.

Larry and I were in the Illinois National Guard in the 1960's. Larry worked in the municipal bond business with John Nuveen in Chicago. At that time, I remember Larry and his wife buying a house in Palatine, Ilinois. Larry was a friendly person with a nice sense of humor. RIP, Larry.

So sorry to hear this. A really nice guy, almost hired me at Dean Witter.

During my interview with him I mentioned my smartest client was his brother John who made me a lot of money getting me to buy a certain stock. He said ‘put 10% of your net worth into it and you’ll double your net worth’ I did and it did. Larry and I laughed about it.

He was one of the gentlemen of Wall Street

Acquaintance

Larry and I worked together during his Advest days. I was one of his clients.

When 2008 hit, and I was laid off from my work, Larry sent me a Bible, and generously offered to keep in touch with me, and helped me whole heartedly in the Larry way I won't forget.

He even kept himself to a vegetarian-only meal at a steakhouse knowing that I am a veg!

It pains me to discover that he is no longer with us, but I have fond memories of Larry to keep forever.

Larry is a dear friend, mentor, and a kind soul. I will miss him dearly, and I wish the Littig family the very best.
