Lawrence Ware
Dear Fellow Rotarians, I
regret to inform you that our long time friend and club
member, Larry Ware, has passed away. Our thoughts and
prayers are with his wife, Evelyn, and their family.
Lawrence Ware, 65, died Tuesday, January
6, 2009 at Brigham and Women's Hospital in
Boston after a courageous battle with
leukemia. He leaves his wife of 46 years,
Evelyn (Brown) Ware; his two daughters:
Leslie Freed and her husband Kelly of
Staunton, Virginia and Laura Tambascio and
her husband Larry of Northborough,
Massachusetts; four grandchildren: Brian and
Margaret Freed, and Robert and Mary
Tambascio.
Larry was born in Chicago, Illinois, son of
Donald and Margaret (Trochelman) Ware, but
lived in Westborough for over 60 years. He
graduated from Westborough High School and
attended Clark University. He served in the
U.S. Air Force from 1961 until 1965, and in
the U.S. Air Force Reserve from 1965 to
1967. He owned and operated Westborough
Citgo Service Station for over 30 years, and
D & P Wright Construction Company for many
years until his retirement in 2007.
He was a member of the Westborough Rotary
Club since 1974, serving two terms as
president and receiving multiple Paul Harris
Fellowships. Larry was a Corporator for
Westborough Savings/Avidia Bank. He served
on the Town of Westborough Finance
Committee, and on the Planning Commission
for the Westborough Fire Station. He was
past president and treasurer of Gold Miners
of New England, a member of the North
Grafton Fish & Game, treasurer of the
Minuteman Allegro R.V. Club and a member of
the Gold Wing Riders Association.
Larry loved spending time with his family
and grandchildren. He was an avid
outdoorsman who loved skiing, hunting,
traveling in his motorhome and on his Gold
Wing motorcycle, and spending time at his
camp in Vermont.
He is also survived by his brothers: Donald
E. Ware, Jr. and wife Shirley of Houston,
Texas, Richard A. Ware and financé Kathe
Bowman of Westborough, and Kenneth H. Ware
and wife Barbara of Lakeville,
Massachusetts; and many nieces and nephews.
