LAWRENCE D. BRAGG III

At St. Mark's School, at the age of eleven, I met a quiet boy who quickly ranked first in our class. Exceptionally educated parents taught Larry to succeed by his own merits. Over the next six years, Larry always held the first place in scholarship. For academic merit, Larry won every prize the School could offer. His skills carried him to Yale, Harvard Law School, and Ropes and Gray. Despite his astute intelligence, and superior ability, Larry never displayed arrogance. He practiced...

Dear Family,
Larry was responsible for influencing me to make an important shift in my career. In the 80s, Larry was our lawyer at Saga Holidays where I was the HR manager. He introduced me to Youth Enrichment Services or YES (he was the Board Chair), where I volunteered by teaching skiing to Boston children and I found my true calling the non-profit world. Ultimately, 25 years ago I founded a Boston non-profit called Santa Claus Anonymous which continues to this day and the annual event...

Larry was a terrific lawyer, a wonderful mentor, and a great person. His colleagues at Ropes & Gray, and everywhere, will miss him.

Janet, Noah, Ellie and Lina. I was deeply saddened to learn of Larry's passing. I will miss seeing him at 6:00 am for our workouts and talking sports. My deepest sympathy to you and family. A long time friend will be missed.

Larry's presence will always be felt, such a kind and devoted person. We have many tennis memories of Larry, dating back from when our boys were 8 and 9. So very sad that he has left this world but we will keep him in our thoughts and hearts -- and all of you as you go through this difficult time. Gayle, Dave, Christian and Gabriella Heaney-Secord

We, like everyone who knew him, were deeply saddened to learn of Larry's passing. Although six years have now passed, I remember clearly when we showed up on the New England tennis scene. Noah, Wayne, Alex, Will, Cam, Mesa and Khartik had been playing each other for years. I took Danny to his first few tournaments and watched the parents to learn what was acceptable parental behavior (as you all know, it was quite an education). What stood out to me, as many have commented on, was Larry's...

Janet, Noah, Ellie and Lina, I am so sorry and saddened that Larry lost his battle. My deepest sympathy to you. I'm very grateful to have had the opportunity to know Larry, and I'm appreciative for everything he added to Erica's development, especially in tennis, over the years. We will miss him. Please know that you are in my prayers. With much love.

I am so sad about loosing Larry who was the very first tennis parent I met. I will never forget the very first National Tournament Mesa and Noah played in Chicago 9 years ago. We were on the same plane going there and coming back. Larry was "chauffer" the entire time. I also remember countless times Larry and I sat side by side watching Mesa and Noah play each other. When Mesa and Noah shook hands, Larry and I shook hands too. Please accept my deepest sympathy to Janet, Noah, Eleanor and...

We are deeply saddened to hear of Larry's passing and send our deepest sympathies to Noah and the rest of the Bragg family....we will be thinking of you all during this difficult time.
We will remember Larry as we knew him...a devoted tennis parent to Noah - may he rest in peace.
