I remember Larry from his basketball days at St Lawrence U. I was a professor and my late wife worked in the sports information office. I am so sorry to hear of his untimely death. We still put the Christmas ornament he gave us on our tree.

Larry was a wonderful man- a great husband, father, son, brother, friend and colleague as he practiced his Christian beliefs daily. 
 I loved watching  the Regan family at Sarah’s wedding….it was so evident how much you all not only love each other but really enjoyed each other.  
He will be greatly missed and we were honored to know him throughout our lives.
Wishing you Peace and Comfort.
     Susan and the entire  Drilling family 

was in grade school and high school with Larry/ After which I lost track with the school mates because of Military service and living in Flroida after that. When I moved back I saw him at St Gregory's hurch and we talked for a bit then. He was always a good person...I don't know anyone who would have a bad word to say about him. To His family I want to say God Bless and remember that your father, husband and so on can no longer be with you physically, but for eternity he is with you spititually

I want to extend our condolences from the Michalak family from the Regan’s childhood neighborhood, Longmeadow Rd.
Personally, I will not forget catching up about family and Amherst alumni with Larry at the Bills games! We would meet at the concrete wall that separated our seats (“ the cheep seats”) from the “reds”. There was no separation from our love of family, our past classmates or passion for the Bills! Larry was was a genuinely kind, caring soul. I will miss him.
All my deepest wishes solace will be the entire families before long. I am so sorry for your loss of such a fine man.

Barb, we were shocked and saddened to hear of Larry's passing. He shared the news of his diagnosis, surgery and treatments with us when we saw him on his last visit to Florida. We are so sorry that the disease prevailed.

We remember him as an engaging and gregarious neighbor.  We recall him sitting in the shade, under a hat, at the pool with a book. If we sat down to chat, time would sail by.

Our sympathies to you and your family. We hope to see you soon in Florida.   Rick & Debbie.

I was an opponent in a case with Larry.  He was so nice, and so kind, and continued to advocate for his client. I was so struck by him, and impressed.   Sending my condolences for the family and well wishes for the difficult journey ahead as you try to understand the world without this pivotal person in it. I am so sorry. 

Barbara and family-Larry was a light to so many.  I'm another college friend who always looked up to this man with a heart of gold.  He loved you all SO much.  He reflected that love into the universe and will forevermore.  My heart is with you all.-Bobbie

I remember Larry as a larger than life guy with a heart of gold, a smile on his face, with common sense beyond his years. His ability to reason and his contagious smiles were positive inspirations. 

Warm thoughts are with his family.

Kind and loyal Phi Kap Brother.  Sending prayers of strength and understanding.  Rest, Larry.

I remember Larry very well from St. Lawrence University fraternity days. Great guy, a friend to so many and one of those people you always remember very fondly,  no matter how many years go by. Deepest condolences and thoughts and prayers to Larry's family and many friends.

Our deepest sympathy to your family. May your find comfort in all your memories and in each other. We remember all the Christmas Eves at Karen and Clem's that we all shared when the children were younger. God bless all of you.

One of my first cases, many years ago ,
was with Larry. Although we held adversarial positions , he was kind, courteous, honest and true to his word. He taught me lessons in civility which I have tried to carry with me throughout my career. I also learned to appreciate his great sense of humor. I miss him. Keeping all of you in my thoughts.

The Fried Family will ALWAYS remember Larry as a kind, funny, generous man. I'll always remember him as our running partner while waiting for our kids to finish swim practice. Our hearts are broken with Barb and his children. Praying God's peace, comfort, and love over all of you as you grieve. 

Larry and I were friends in high school, and though we had lost touch since then,  I was lucky to have seen him again at the wedding of a mutual friend about ten years ago.   Larry was the same funny, warm gentleman that I remembered.     My condolences to the Regan family.   I am so sorry for your loss.

Absolutely one of the finest men that I have ever had the privilege to know. I will miss my annual golf rounds with Larry. I will miss talking hoops and other sports with Larry. I will miss Larry. RIP my old friend. You were simply one of the nicest and caring guys in my life. 

Larry and I were friends and teammates during high school. He was smart, loyal, funny and was always there with support, his big laugh, or a kick in the behind when appropriate  (which I needed frequently).  As adults we lost touch until recently when he reached out to me and we reconnected. I had the good fortune to catch up with him for a  great conversation on FaceTime. He talked with pride and love about Barb, children, grandchildren, brothers and sisters. At the end of the conversation it felt like old times where we sat around and shot the breeze. He lives in in all our hearts and in his amazing legacy that will be carried on by his loving family. Please accept condolences from the Halbersleben family. We are sorry for your loss. 

I wish to extend my condolences to Barbara and her family.  I still remember  our times at Sitzmarker.

My deepest condolences. Your Father indeed was an inspiration man to me during my time as a MAC champ at Buffalo. He saw something special in me, all the good things always! I will never forget the positive impact he had on me when he would drive me to away games. Love that dude honestly. My kindest regards to you and your mom and the whole Regan family 💙, Love you bro!!! always!!

Dear Barb and family:  Larry was a real gentleman, a gentle giant, a good guy.  Lawyers in Buffalo know one another, and we all knew Larry as a decent, hard-working, capable trial lawyer.  He was also a wonderful family man.  You and he can be proud of what you and your amazing children have done together.  We admire you.  Larry will be greatly missed but the world is better off because he was with us.

Regan Family,  I never had the privilege of meeting your father but I do know his sister, Colleen, very well.  Through her stories of her brother, I learned what an amazing person he is - kind, caring, hard working, sport enthusiast.  I also learned what a great husband and father he is.  I wanted you to know that his love of life and kindness to others has extended well beyond those that knew him personally.  What a great legacy to leave.   

I first met Jim and Will his sons playing basketball in HS but fast forward a few years later both myself and Jim played at Daemen College and that’s where i first met the mountain of a man Mr. Regan. Even bigger was The amount of support and positive messages Mr. Regan showed me after every home game and some away, that was unmatched! Via twitter Dad716 (Mr. Regan always had a good tweet to share) he always showed love and what he stood for as a man and faithful man. He last congratulated me on my recent wedding a few weeks ago. Prayers for the Regan family! Mr. Regan you most definitely will be missed! Thank you for all the positive energy you sent my way.

I will always remember our times watching our children playing basketball together. And I will always cherish our friendship. I will miss him.

I first met Larry (and Barb) in Korea in 2013.  We were there to support our daughters at the World Rowing Championships.  After that, we traveled to many of the same places for other rowing events.  A favorite moment was the day Larry, Barb, Mike and I decided to share a taxi in Poland to take us to the venue.  The taxi that showed up was tiny, and stuffing all four of us into was a hilarious event that was cause for much laughter.

Mike and extend our sympathy to all of Larry's family.  He was a kind, enthusiastic man who had time to get to know everyone .  We will miss him, and wish we could be there in person to say goodby.

Dear Regan family, I have no words other to say heaven received a remarkable angel. Larry and I were on the board of the Y together and he was the warmest,  most loving person I have ever met. Always with a smile and the worlds best handshake. His holiday cards and thank you notes, always with an encouraging note, were legendary.  I am heartbroken. Thank you for sharing him with so many of us over the years. He will always be remembered with love and kindness. 

Sincerely, Mike

No words seem right,  Larry was one of a kind!  Barb and family I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved Husband, Father, Grandpa!   He has left a great legacy that will live on forever!  I will miss his kind words and wonderful smile!  
Prays will continue for you and the family! 
Sincere condolences
Vivian Heverley

I’m so sorry for your loss. Larry was one of the kindest individuals that I’ve ever known. Always said hello and asked how I was.  Our prayers are with your entire family. 

I'm so sorry to hear of Larry's passing. He was one of my favorite people to see in the elevators at 438 Main St. He always had a smile and a joke to share during the ride from floor to floor. Praying for his family. 

Dear Barb and Family, 

 Words at this time can't take away the sorrow you are feeling, but please know, that our prayers and loving thoughts are with you during this difficult time. Larry was a good man, and I always admired him as a person. May his memories give you strength and keep you strong. 
With deepest sympathy and love,
Erin and Drew McNichol

We will miss Uncle Lar loving his Barb and Kids unconditionally, grilling hot dogs and burgers on his deck, shoveling his snow covered driveway down to the pavement, sitting in the stands at  basketball games of Kelly, Jimmy, and Will, willing Emily to victory across the globe, talking with the sports reporters, wearing his big floppy hat in the sun, taking the back roads home from Bills games in record time, and most of all his love for all of us, his laugh and outlook on life. 
  

To all the Regans - I am so saddened to hear of Larry’s passing. His kind and compassionate ways are immeasurable.  I will pray for each of you to find  strength and peace in the days ahead. With sympathy and love, Mary Ellen Kreuz
