Lawrence Aloysius YORE "Larry" (Age 91)

Lawrence Aloysius "Larry" Yore, 91, died peacefully on October 2, 2022. Larry was born January 21, 1931, in Chicago, Illinois, and as a child was a parishioner and altar boy at St. Rita of Cascia Catholic Church on the South Side of Chicago. He entered Mount Carmel College Seminary in Niagara Falls, Canada in 1944. Upon graduation, he joined the Carmelites and was ordained a Carmelite Priest in 1956, taking the religious name Malcolm. He continued his education at the Catholic University of America in Washington, DC while he lived at White Friars Hall in Washington, DC. Larry left the priesthood in 1958 and married Joyce Elaine Cocimano. He served five years in the Army and was a trained linguist and translator in Arabic. He spent 2 years at the National Security Agency (NSA).



In 1962, he began part-time work as a Home Teacher for Home and Hospital Instruction in the Prince George's County Public School System (PGCPS) in Maryland. In July of 1969, Larry was appointed the Coordinator for Home and Hospital Teaching. Larry devoted much of his life to ensuring that all Prince George's County children were provided a quality public school education. He retired from teaching in 1999. While he always remained committed to the Catholic community, he devoted the last twenty-three years of his life to Catholic fellowship and Bible Study within various parishes, especially St. Hugh of Grenoble Catholic Church in Greenbelt, Maryland.
