RIP LARRY

So sorry to read of Larry Bates death.
Having been a teammate of his from Little League, Alumni League and on to MHS, Larry was always a great additiion both on and off the field. That means I've known Larry 70 plus years.
Will miss his sense of humor and the fact that he was actually a lawyer always played into our two and fro.
On to the next field Larry, and hope you're on my team!
All the best to his family.
Your friend,
Dave Sibrinsz

Larry last spoke with me May 16. We only touched on the law - our usual topic. Larry talked mainly that day about his family and a bit about sports. Larry knew my daughter, Atty. Cynthia Barlow, from their work in criminal court. Both did defense work. Cynthia always found Larry a great guy for talk about law and life. She had great respect for him, and his devotion to his clients.
My high school recollections of Larry was as a smart and funny guy. We went to UConn Law about the same time. We practiced in different regions and in different fields of the law. But our paths crossed often enough for us to keep track of each other. I was very fond of Larry. A kind and decent man.
I will miss Larry Bates.
