Larry managed my hurling & football team at Raheny GAA from u10 through to minor. He put a huge effort into keeping that team together. His last year with the team ended in a minor hurling league win in 2004. A lot of us wouldn’t have been involved in playing, or still be playing GAA if it wasn’t for Larry.

Condolences to Larry’s family.

I am sure I speak for all of Larry's classmates from 1977 in O' Connells. A quiet, unassuming and gentle soul whom we all enjoyed meeting at class reunions down the years. - A devastating loss for all a such a relatively young age.

Some of us played with Larry in O'Tooles many tears ago and he never lost his love of matters GAA and gave so much back to getting young people involved in the games.

May he rest in peace - Class of 1977-OCS

Worked with Larry in Ballymun with a less than gifted team😀. Great coach because he understood this. Worked with him for 4 yrs on the 2010 journey. What a trip! Won nothing. Larry omnipresent and supportive, threw in the humorous comments. Understanding compassionate, passionate, intelligent and caring. Larry was one of those quiet hero’s. Privileged to talk to Larry in the last few days. Inspirational ,touched by his bravery courage and fortitude. Greatly saddened because of our shared journey. If I was to offer a sentiment, “ larry, salt with intelligence” Rest easy Larry, deeply loved by the Andrew’s family.
