The Town of Rindge respectfully announces the funeral services for Lawrence "Larry" Harris, a longtime and deeply respected member of the Rindge community.

Larry Dedicated more than 50 years of service to the communities of Rindge and Jaffrey as an Animal Control Officer and served 20 years as a Town Costable. Through his many years of service, Larry was known for his unwavering commitment to help others. Whether responding to accidents and traffic incidents, assisting residents with home repairs, shoveling driveways, plowing roads or simply lending a helping hand, Larry was always willing to serve his neighbors and community.

His dedication and service were formally recognized by the Town of Rindge in 2024, when he was awarded the honorary lifetime title of Animal Control Officer.

Larry's impact extended far beyond his official duties. He was a loyal, hard working, generous and caring community member whose willingness to help others became a defining part of his life. His legacy of service will continue to be remembered by the many residents, public safety personnel, friends and neighbors he has touched.

Please keep your thoughts with Larry’s family during this absolutely heartbreaking time. RIP Larry, we’ve got it from here.

🖤🖤🖤💙❤️🖤🖤🖤

It is with heavy hearts and great sorrow that we announce the loss of our beloved friend Lawrence "Larry" T. Harris.

Larry passed away peacefully at his home yesterday morning.

He selflessly served the town of Rindge for nearly 7 decades, holding numerous roles within the Fire Department and the Police Department as well as contributing to nearly every other department in Town. He was easily the most recognized person in town. He will be most remembered for his 64-year position as the town's Animal Control Officer. Upon his retirement, he was bestowed with that honorary lifetime title.

Arrangements are pending - honoring a lifetime of service takes time to plan.

If you have a memory of Larry that you would like to share, please feel free to leave comments here and we will make sure that they are relayed to his family. I will personally always remember Larry's larger than life personality, super-human abilities, and constant presence during the 22 years that I had the honor of knowing him.

We will miss you, my dear friend. You have served our community well and we will forever hold you in our hearts. It is now time to rest, sir. We will carry on in the example of the life that you led.

Respectfully,
Chief Malynowski
