- State: Pennsylvania
Lawrence “Larry” Edward Cassidy Sr. of Rehoboth Beach, DE formerly of Newark, DE and Southwest Philadelphia died suddenly in the loving arms of his wife on Saturday December 23. He was 62 years old. Larry was a kind, big hearted man, who made an impression on everyone he met. He was a prankster, as I’m sure many of you know, and always quick with a joke. He was his son’s biggest fan, taking them to every single practice and wrestling tournament. No tournament was too far or small, if his sons wanted to go, he took them. He was at every sporting event whether it was a Holy Angels football game, wrestling match, a Salesianum or St. Mark’s wrestling match or football game, he wouldn’t miss it. He loved the Holy Angels football program where his sons played. He even donated his time with many others and helped build the Joan Muzzi Athletic Association building where there were countless BBQs after Friday night practices. He was a great salesman and could strike up a conversation with anyone. He loved watching Notre Dame Football with his boys and was a huge fan. He loved all Philadelphia sports and took his sons to many games. In his spare time, he enjoyed fishing, and was always in search of a new pond, whether he was trespassing or not. Larry was an avid reader and he particularly enjoyed John Grisham novels. He will truly be missed by his wife, and his boys who loved him so much and made them the men they are today.
