Fr. Larry Kew

I went to Camp Lawrence as a 8 year old in 1962. Larry was our camp counselor and was in charge of Squad 5. He had 8 little guys to look after and he did a great job. He never yelled but if you messed up he quietly said we owed him push-ups. We doubled or tripled the number we could do at the end of a week.

Fr.Larry was well thought of in the Indiana
community for many years growing-up. Godspeed.

Rest in Peace Father Kew. You were an awesome priest at Saints Peter and Paul in Merrillville where my brothers and I attend grade school. Many years have passed but his Church sermons/homilies are still remembered and cherished. I still remember when he was giving an impassioned homily and he pounded on the pulpit so hard he caused a baby to start crying. Powerful sermons indeed. He was one of a kind and will be missed! We all were lucky to have known him and been in attendance during...
