Larry and Dolores met at an early age and together they built a life that many would consider a “Life well Lived “. Over 45 years ago they started a business, L&D Automotive, which owned and operated Cox’s Service Station in East Hartford. Their children; Michael and Susan, joined the business and worked alongside their parents for over 35 years. Larry was a Patriotic American who served honorably in the Army National Guard. Larry was passionate about the automobile industry and he enjoyed restoring and collecting antique cars.

Larry & Dolores leave behind two children and their spouses; Michael Galuska of South Windsor and Susan and her husband Timothy Willard of Glastonbury. They also leave their grandchildren; Christopher Willard and Melanie Katz of Wesley Chapel, FL., Andrew and Lindsey Willard of Glastonbury CT., Colby Galuska of West Palm Beach, FL., and Bryn Galuska Liuzzi and her husband Nick of San Antonio, TX.
