Lawrence T. Pino

My Dad took accordion lessons when he was a young boy. My Dad and Larry Pino took accordion lessons from the same teacher. I always felt that I was Larry's favorite student.

I first met Larry in the late 1950s. I remember he always had a smile on his face, had a great sense of humor, and would take the opportunity to give me or anyone else rosy cheeks if they were not prepared for an accordion lesson.

Larry was an incredible person. He had a passion for music and was an excellent teacher and mentor. He believed that music is fun and influenced the lives of so many people. My favorite memories as a young adult revolve around music and the activities...

Deb and I had the great pleasure of knowing Larry for almost a quarter of a century, a short part of his life but a much larger part of ours.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Larry was a great teacher, a great man, and loved his family very much.

We always won 1st place. Always. It's hard to believe how good we all were. Larry alway kept us so very motivated.
Just a bunch of kids having the time of our lives, going to California every...

My sincere condolences Steve to you and your family. I remember your Dad so well. The RV excursions with my Dad and Mr Brady to our B ball games. I know how much you loved him and admired him. Just a couple years ago you mentioned he was still living in his own place teaching music. That's amazing. God bless his soul and provide peace and comfort to all of you left behind. He lived an extraordinary life. I hope this isn't my second entry. Didn't see the first get posted
