Born April 22, 1933 and known to his family and friends as Laurie, passed away peacefully on Friday, November 12, 2021 after a sudden and brief illness. Laurie was 88 years young at the time of his death.

Laurie was a graduate of Our Lady of Pity High School in Cambridge and a 1955 graduate of Boston College with a Bachelor of Science in Accounting. Laurie was also granted a Master’s Degree in Business Administration from Boston College in 1970, making him a proud “Double Eagle.”
After a long career in the telecommunications industry that took him to Europe, Africa, Russia, China, India, South America and the Middle East, Laurie retired to spend time with his family, travelling for pleasure and focusing his time on his home on the Cape.
Throughout his life, Laurie was the one friend or family member everyone looked to advice. He lived by example and if asked, offered sage counsel. His wisdom and calm countenance was renowned.
Over these last ten years since losing his beloved wife Ann, Laurie spent his time with his children and grandchildren, learning what the newest generation had to teach him. And, as always, reading at least several books a week.
Laurie will be dearly missed by all who knew him since all who knew him, loved him.
