Obituary for Lawrence J. Lipari
It is with great sadness to share the loss of Lawrence J. "Larry" Lipari, 61, who died unexpectedly on April 20th, 2019 in Pittsfield, MA.
Larry was born on November 23, 1957 in Pittsfield to the late Lawrence J. Sr. and Jennie M. (Watroba) Lipari. He graduated from St. Joseph's High School Class of 1975. From there, he went on to pursue his love and talent in the art field. He studied at Berkshire Community College (MA), Pratt Institute (Brooklyn, NY), and the School of Visual Arts (NYC). Larry worked as an Art Director and Designer for over 40 years in the Springfield, MA area, where he lived for many years. Larry was a kind and generous man who always was there to lend a hand to anyone in need. His quick wit, sense of humor, and infectious smile will be greatly missed. He enjoyed the outdoors and hiking with his beloved dog, Mac.
He leaves behind his loving family, Aunts Mary (Clifford) Card of Clinton, MA, Barbara (Daniel) Janis of Revere, MA, Carolyn (Ronald) Rousseau of Pittsfield, Irene Watroba of Dalton, Dorothy Watroba and Phyllis Watroba of Pittsfield, and his Uncle Francis (Theresa) Lipari of Plymouth, MA.
