He received an honorable discharge in 1978 with a Rank of Spec 4. You can almost hear him say, “What a long, strange trip it’s been.” No matter what the conversation, he could always find a line from a song to fit right in. He worked for Saratoga Springs DPW from 1974 to 2008. He was very proud to serve his union brothers and sisters, and the city he loved. Larry always thought he was a very lucky person to get to know many famous people from sports, movies and television. His proudest accomplishment was when along with a bunch of kids, friends and neighbors, he took a local drum corps to a competitive level – first as the Hurricanes, then the Emerald Knights, and lastly Avant guard. He was an avid fan of the Yankees, Montreal Canadians, and the Buccaneers. Services are graveside at Greenridge Cemetery, 17 Greenridge Place, Saratoga Springs, NY 12866 on Thursday, October 12, 2017 at 12:00 PM.
