LAWRENCE LITWAK

Oh no. We have lost a good one. A really good one.

I worked with Larry for many years at Brown Rudnick. We did not do too much work together and so it is surprising how much I liked him and enjoyed him as a part of the Firm and my world. As someone else alluded to in one of these memories, seeing Larry just made me smile. He embodied kindness, friendship, humanity.

Although I have not seen Larry in quite some time, this feels like a sad loss for me and for the...

I am so sad to learn of Larry's passing. I worked with Larry at Brown Rudnick. Not only was he a wonderful lawyer but he was a kind human being. May his family find comfort during this sad time.

Princeton's Class of 1970 remembers Larry as an admired member and a friend. As one of his classmates both at Princeton and at Harvard Law, I had the greatest respect for his intellect and the greatest appreciation for his personal warmth. We send our sincere and sad condolences to Larry's family.

Jesse, Katy and Carol: you all spoke beautifully at Larry's service. Heartfelt and thoughtful, conveying the admirable qualities that others respected in him and that he instilled deeply in you....and with just enough levity to slightly buoy everyone's sadness. If I leave a memorial service feeling as though I knew that person much better than I'd ever had the pleasure of personally knowing them while they were around, then those who eulogized them did it right. And you certainly did. I'm...

Larry and I overlapped for several years while working at Brown Rudnick, and I undoubtedly knew him from his work on restructuring BCH while I was Boston's Corporation Counsel. I always enjoyed his gentle personality, compassion (demonstrated through pro bono representation, ethics, wise counsel.

And his laugh. Even now, as I look at his photo in the obituary, his smile I am compelled to smile back. I will miss his presence in this world.

My condolences to his family, friends...

Larry was (and I can't believe I'm using the past tense) the smartest, most intelligent lawyer with whom it ever has been my pleasure to associate. In fact, the world lost a wonderful law school professor when he decided to toil in the daily practice of law rather than enlighten future generations of law students regarding their anticipated legal careers. I always felt a special bond with Larry, we both being "Southerners" in a "Yankee" universe for so many years. He will be missed. Both...

There are moments in life that you later recognize are central to the person you become; working with Larry was one of those moments. We worked very closely together when I was at UMASS in the early 90s, culminating in the creation of UMASS Memorial Health Care System. He was a gifted lawyer and an amazing teacher. He helped me to learn to apply my most creative thinking to challenging legal problems, to learn that as lawyers we could and should be problem solvers, and to understand that...

I worked with Larry when I was a relatively new associate. He was a wonderful mentor and a true pleasure to know one of those special people who made a lasting impression on me. I've thought of him often over the years and am so sorry to hear of his passing.
