Lawrence Joseph "Scotty" McCarroll 92, passed away at his home on December

Born in Glasgow, Scotland on November 9, 1933, he was the son of Patrick and

Larry moved to the United States from Scotland in 1968, living with his sister in

as a breakman-conductor for nineteen years. After leaving Conrail, Scotty worked

as a golf ranger for twenty years at Sunny Hill Golf Course which he thoroughly

enjoyed. Larry loved music. He brought his accordion from Scotland, and played

for many years. He loved playing golf trying to conquer that game. He enjoyed

traveling with his wife Patty and watching all the Yankee games on television.

He enjoyed the visits from his son and family. Larry was an honorary member of the

Catskill Elks Club, the Knights of Columbus, and a parishioner of St. Mary's Church,

Coxsackie, New York.

The family wishes to express their sincere gratitude to the staff at the Greene

We were so sorry to hear of the passing of Larry. We always enjoyed spending time with him on Thanksgiving when the Alcuri and Votta families shared this holiday. We always looked forward to being entertained by Larry and his accordion. Wow, he was so good. We will keep all of those memories in our hearts and our prayers go out to the family.
Love Rosanne and Sam Starr.
