He enjoyed golfing with his Framingham crew, dabbling in woodworking, creating the River Bar that he built in his backyard, his fire pit and music on a cool fall night, boating and sunset cruises in Hingham harbor all brought Larry bliss, but nothing more so than dancing in the kitchen with his wife and seeing his family and childhood friends.<\/p>\n<p>Besides the love of his life Suzanne, and his mother, Evelyn, Larry is survived by his step daughter Heather Rose, his grandchildren, Camden and Meadowsweet Rose, his step son Thomas R. Bird &amp; his wife Elizabeth (Lizzy) Bird, and his sisters, Evelyn R. Goodspeed and Elizabeth Munroe along with their husbands, his mother in law, Norma J.
