LAWRENCE LASSER

My first job was at the art gallery in Boston that Larry started with an HBS friend. What a learning experience that was! Lassergrams were not yet in circulation but every Saturday, he left a notbeook filled with comments for us to read on Mon morning when we opened the gallery, He was supportive, fair, generous, and became a great friend. We had recently planned to meet in NY but alas, it didn't happen. We did share one of his favorite aphorisms, "Pay attention!" after his accident. My head...

During six summers for six years we came from Corsica to Dutch Neck where we became acquainted with Larry and Michelle. Haverner Point is a legacy to their creativity and perseverance and we count ourselves privileged to be able to take our daily walk with Mollie the Collie, not to mention the best apple orchard on Dutch Neck! Thank you Larry and Bon Courage to Michelle the family.

I am so sorry for your loss Michelle and your wonderful family. I know from my own experience, loosing my wife Claire in February, you will miss him every day and it will be hard emotionally without him. I give you my family´s love and wish you strength. So many of us know him from our Putnam days as the dynamic and demanding leader he exemplified. I was the recipient of many Lassergrams, some crushing, some exhilarating, but they were always fair and justified. I always learned from them and...

A mentor (Putnam) and brilliant investment professional who (along with Marty Hale and Jerry Jordan) worked me hard but taught me so much when I was young. Cerebral and serious-minded he made an indelible impression on me in my formative years. I loved his dry sense of humor - e.g., the creation of the "Lassergram" - a critical type written message he would leave on analysts' desks when we messed up! He will be missed. May his memory be a blessing. Dougie Kass

To Larry´s Family, My deepest condolences for your loss, Larry was a great CEO and even a better person. I worked for Putnam from 1990 to 2005. Although I never reported to Larry. I had the pleasure working with him occasionally he was a great leader and well respected by many. He helped so many people in so many ways that even Larry himself may not have known. I worked with Larry after he left Putnam and in 2019 helped Larry move into his new office on Federal St and had a few great...

I remember Larry fondly from when he was my brother-in-law. He always knew the coolest and the best. I am sorry for your loss. Marion Immerman

My mentor, protector, and friend. Larry was an important influence on my professional and personal life. He was someone I could turn for advice and council anytime for work, art, managing finances, charitable giving and whatever. My favorite piece of advice he gave all of us at Putnam when bonuses were awarded was "remember, trees don´t grow to the sky"! He taught me to save for another day. His passing leaves a hole in my heart.
