Shihan Garron was my childhood martial arts instructor for about eight years until the age of 16. He was one of the most decent and generous persons I've ever known and I think of him often. I was very sorry to learn of his passing a few years ago, but I felt obliged to offer my belated condolences to his family. He was one of a kind.
Rest in peace.

Sincere condolences to the Garron family. Although I never had the honor of meeting Larry, I heard wonderful things about him throughout the years! I've been good friends with Chet for years, and was fortunate enough to hear great stories from Chet about brother Larry. Wonderfull athlete and even better human being! Rest in Peace, Lawrence.

I had the privilege of working with Larry in
the late 60s, during the off-season, when he
did sports reports on WCAS Radio in Cambridge.

Larry was a true gentleman and always game as he learned a new skill.

My condolences to Larry's family and friends. The world has lost a shining light and a really good guy.

Knowing Larry and the Garron family since the 1980's has been a blessing. Nicest family on the planet. A man loved by so many now is welcomed to God's kingdom. Thoughts prayers & love to all the Garron's.

Condolences to the Garron family for your loss. I remember Larry (and Troy) well, and still today often talk of the Judo classes I took ~1969 with him. Larry was a great sensei.

Decades ago, Larry and several Boston Patriots came to Norwell High School, MA, to play basketball against the faculty in a fund raiser. I shook his hand, and he signed an autograph for me. Will always remember how gracious he was to us, as well as his great 'Fro'.
