Gardiner-Lawrence P. Farley Sr., 83, went home to be with his Lord and Savior on January 10th, 2018. He was a longterm resident of Glenridge Nursing Home in Augusta where he will be remembered for his love of hymns, sense of humor and chocolate milk. Larry was born February 3rd, 1934, in Presque Isle, Maine, the son of Archibald and Olga B. (Lathrop) Farley. As a child his family moved to Randolph, Maine where he was raised as one of nine children. He graduated from Gardiner Area High School.

In 1961 Larry retired from the service, settling his family in Gardiner. Larry was a hard-working man, always providing for his family. He quickly became a member of First Baptist Church of Gardiner where he was a Sunday School teacher and deacon. Over the years he cultivated a love for flowers, reading his Bible and listening to hymns.
