Not sure what to say?

Larry ( Jr. ) and Family
I have heard of all the great things your father has done over the years through your eyes, and although I have never physically met him, one doesn't really need to, when they are able to see the fruits of his labor
through the eyes of his children. Oh, what a wonderful gift his presents were, and still are through his extended presents known as his children.
Larry Jr. thanks for sharing your admiration and love for your father with your friends. It...

Larry will always be in my heart and soul as I continue to teach jazz music. He was influencial in helping me to choose a career in education to compliment my performance life. His passion for life and compassion for human life will always show me the way to be. Love you Larry.

My Man,

When I reflect on all the years I’ve spent with you, my very, very good friend (and long lost Brother) it was never enough.

He always left us laughing and wanting more. He was a huge man but always made everyone he met feel as though...

I was so saddened to hear of you loss of Larry. He was such a good colleague and friend. Always a smile and a commitment to diversity on campus.

We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of our loved one Lawrence McCrorey. After many years that passed before we finally met him, we were deeply impressed and inspired. He was half-brother to me (Miles and sister Evelyn). He will be missed tremendously
My god bless and keep you.

I am deeply grieved to hear of the death of my dear friend. I met Larry in 1967 during a very difficult period of my life and I think of him as my best all-time friend. Larry provided words and acts of motivation and kindness that I could never forget. Through our interactions, he provided me the necessary stimulus to pursue my career goals. We spent many happy days talking, listening to music and boating together. He came to our campus many times as a...

Our sincere condolences. Don and Carol Hatton

During our 8 years working together on the Vermont Human Rights Commission, I was privileged to experience Larry's brilliance, warmth, wit and profound depth of compassion and understanding. No one in Vermont could match Larry's eloquence in advocating for civil rights whether testifying in the legislature, in personal conversation, or among his fellow commissioners. I treasured our friendship, his spectacular birthday parties, his teasing, and most especially my last visit with Larry,...
