Larry's passions included sailing, painting, camping and playing music. He will be remembered by all for his contagious smile, welcoming personality and adventurous spirit. Larry will be sadly missed but never forgotten. Beloved longtime companion of Diane Wilmot. Cherished husband of Pat O'Connor. Caring brother of Paul O'Connor and his wife Katie, Thomas O'Connor and his wife Marlene, Rita Savage and Bill Doyle and Sandra Tedeschi and her husband Paul. Also survived by many nieces and nephews and countless friends.
