Lawrence "Larry" Scannelli

Lawrence “Larry” Scannelli, aged 63, of Sturbridge MA, escaped this mortal realm on December 12, 2019. He died at Brigham and Women’s Hospital from complications caused by a seizure. Although he lived all his childhood and adult life in an institution for the mentally disabled, Larry touched many lives, including that of his legal guardian, Mona Lisa, who became his angel on earth at Munson Hospital. She was responsible for securing him a permanent home through Venture Community Services where he was beloved by the various caregivers and four house residents who worked and lived at his group home in Sturbridge, MA. They were his true family. But genetics is everything! Thus, Larry lives on through his brothers Richie, Ron and Steve, particularly through their uncanny resemblance to Larry. The brothers all share Larry’s appreciation for music, dancing, and good food. Larry also lives on through his younger sister Lisa. Although Larry did not have the opportunity to have a family of his own, his siblings provided him with many nieces and nephews, who also love many of the things Larry appreciated. Larry has now been reunited with his parents, Rose and Alfonso Scannelli, and his older sister Joanne Silva Scannelli. Lastly, Larry’s funeral and burial are made possible by his Aunt Philomena Mario who gave generously to assure that her nephew would be memorialized and buried with dignity. Services will be held at Buonfiglio Funeral Home in Revere, MA, on December 23, 2019. Visitation will be from 10:00-11:30 AM and the prayer service will begin at 11:30 AM. Larry will be laid to rest in St. Michael Cemetery in Roslindale MA. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Ventures Community Services https://secure.qgiv.com/for/vcs in Sturbridge, MA.
