Lawrence J. Mambrino

Lawrence J. Mambrino, age 96, passed away peacefully on December 30, 2025, in Palm Beach, Florida. He was born in Naugatuck, Connecticut on October 30, 1929. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Roberta Mambrino, who passed away in June 2025.

Lawrence proudly served his country in the United States Navy. Following his military service, he spent his career working at Uniroyal Chemical Company.

He shared many years living with his family in Naugatuck, forming close bonds in the community that remained central throughout his life. Larry proudly served on the Board of Directors for the Naugatuck Valley Savings & Loan and was a Life Member of the Naugatuck Elk’s Club.

Larry and Roberta eventually moved to Rhode Island, settling on the edge of a salt pond, where he found great joy in coastal living and especially enjoyed digging for clams. They also embraced the snowbird lifestyle, spending winters in Palm Beach, Florida. Larry and Roberta were members of the Palm Beach Citizens Association and rarely missed a good cocktail party or sharing dinner with friends on the Island.

He will be deeply missed by his son, Dr. Lawrence Mambrino, and his wife, Debra Mambrino, of Chestnut Hill, MA; his daughter, Attorney Donna Mambrino, and her husband, Martin Skelly, of Farmington, CT; his cherished grandchildren, Samantha and Michael; and his precious grand dogs, Lucy, Rusty, and Louie.

Larry will be remembered for his strong work ethic, love of family, appreciation for simple pleasures, and a life well lived across nearly a century.
