Lawrence P. Lorusso, 69
CLARKSBURG, Mass. — Lawrence P. Lorusso, 69, of Clarksburg died Friday, Oct. 28, 2022, peacefully at home after a bout with cancer.
He is survived by his significant other, Lois Hobbie-Welch; 2 daughters, Patrice Neil of Crawford, CO, Jeanine Lorusso of Monroe, NH; Lois' daughters, Kyla Daley of Plymouth, Lauren Corr of Medford; 4 grandchildren; his Ute family; fellow river runners; and close friends.
Born in Reno, NV, he was the son of Daniel Lorusso and Irene Lemoine.
Larry, owner of Cytafex Studio, was an adventurer, a commercial and landscape photographer, a white water river rafting guide, and a conservationist at heart. He had immeasurable passion for nature and wished to share his experiences with others through photography, rafting, and hiking. While Larry had a fondness for many places, rafting in the Grand Canyon was one of his deepest loves. He enjoyed the company of his loved ones, family, close friends, and striking up a conversation with someone he had just met.
Larry had enormous respect for all animals, including the dogs in his life, which he regarded as his best friends. He was a perpetual student and teacher in life and embodied the phrase you often heard him say: each day is a gift.
Per Larry's request, a celebration of life will be held in lieu of a funeral service at the convenience of the family in the spring of 2023.
