He retired in 1999 from Bendix Friction Materials of Green Island after 32 years of service. Larry loved boating and enjoyed building his dream boat landing.

He was a lifetime NY Jets fan and every game was a family event. Larry is survived by his beloved wife, Isabella Covey Currier. He was the proud dad of Timothy (Melissa) Currier, Shawn (Randy) Hines and Christina (Paul) Haupt, all of Troy. The happiest years of his life was being "PAPA" to his 5 grandchildren: Courtney, Jarret, Paul, Andrew and Jillian all of Troy. He is also survived by his loving sister, Eleanor Laviolette of Troy.
