Lawrence M. Stack

He was the much-loved son of the late Doris Manley Stack and John Matthew Stack of Utica, New York and Newington, Connecticut. Lawrence, Larry, was the beloved husband of the late Rosemary Maiscalco Stack for 42 years, many of those years residing in Plainville, CT.
He was born in Utica, N.Y. on June 18, 1941. He liked to say that he had the same birthday as Paul McCartney, only McCartney was a year younger. Larry was a favorite son of Utica, he loved all things linked to the city, from black and white cookies, tomato pie, F.X. Matt's Brewery to the Uptown and UFA.
Larry's fondest memories were linked to the 1950's, an era punctuated by cars, Elvis and the greats of the N.Y. Yankees. His love of these aspects of his youth was life-long. It ultimately was culminated by owning and showing his 1987 red Corvette, visiting Graceland and attending N.Y. Yankees Spring Training with his sisters.
Larry attended school in Utica but graduated in 1960 from Newington High School. In high school he started to work part-time for the produce department of Stop and Shop in New Britain, CT and would continue with Stop and Shop as a produce manager for various stores throughout central Connecticut for the next 43 years, retiring in 2003. He was a member of the United Food & Commercial Workers Union Local 919.
