LAURENCE PHILIP BERSHAD

Larry was a mentor and an unexpected grandfather to me. I'll miss him.

Larry was a good friend and mentor. I learned a great deal from working for him and I will be forever grateful for his guidance and support during grad school. My condolences to Rachel and the Bershad family.

I imagine Larry asking the angels "Did you get a deposit?" at the Gates of Heaven. I remember every day at Ocean View like it was yesterday and I would give anything to have those years back again. I miss Nathalie being a toddler in the lobby and Peter bursting through the door shouting "What's this?" Larry was like a grandfather to Nathalie and he would be so proud of her in college now. I'm really glad he lived to have two grandchildren of his own. Prayers and blessings to Rachel Carignan...

I will remember Larry forever! From the Coach House, babysitting at the brick house with the beautiful azalea bushes, reconnecting with Larry and Peter in Gloucester and Todd's Farm. What a long and wonderful life he had! Best to you both, Laury and Peter. Joanne Faney Hobin
