Defining
Lawrence, Larry, Bear; a kind and compassionate gentleman that found it easier to speak from his head than his heart. His smile, his warmth and the mischievous glint in his blue eyes made everything okay with the people he shared his life with. The world feels larger, and sadly, a bit lack luster in his absence.
He leaves in his wake 6 loving children with their partners:
Mike & Ellen, Patrick & Jenny Nicole, Andrea & Philip, Elaine & Ryan, Meredith & John, Laura & Trevor...And 6, nearly 7 grandchildren: Desmond, Carolyn, Sophia, Meara, Tabitha, Brendan and TBA.
A blessed family and treasured friends, a collection of acquaintances that touched him deeply as he became a member of a sainted group of warriors battling and on occasion enduring, terminal illness. Larry was strengthened by his faith and the miracle of prayers, the education, training and compassion of doctors, nurses, nurse practioners, medical assistants and staff as well as therapist, fellows, parking valets, business colleagues, students, neighbors, treasured friends and family together with love.
We each grieve the loss of a great, kind and unique gentleman.
