LAWRENCE F. FORD
AGE 55 YEARS
Lawrence F. "Larry the Painter" Ford, of Quincy, formerly of Milton, passed away, peacefully, Thursday, January 31, 2019, after a brief and courageous battle with cancer, surrounded by his loving family, under the wonderful care at the South Shore Hospital.
Larry was born and raised in Milton and was a graduate of Milton High School, Class of 1981, where he earned a certificate of proficiency in commercial art. He later earned an Associate Degree in advertising, art and design in 1988 from the Blue Hill Regional Technical School. He had lived in Quincy for twenty-three years, previously in Milton.
He was employed as a union painter with Local #1138 for many years, and for the past three years had enjoyed working as a painter at the Marina Bay Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Quincy where he made many new friendships. Larry had also worked for the A. Monti Granite Company and for the James Clarence Canniff, Jr. Monument Company, both in Quincy, applying gold leaf to many monuments. He was proud to have done the gold leafing on the Korean War Memorial outside Quincy's Veteran's Memorial Stadium on Hancock Street, as well as the Elk's Monument from Lodge 943 on Quarry Street. Larry was a talented and gifted artist.
He had a wonderful sense of humor and a heart of gold. He loved The Three Stooges, the History Channel, and midnight snacks. Most of all, Larry was dedicated to his family, and especially to his wife and children, supporting all their many activities and accomplishments. Beloved husband for twenty-two years of Maureen A. (Marr) Ford. Devoted father of Paul E. Ford and Julia P. Ford, both of Quincy. Cherished son of M. Joyce (Tegan) Ford of Milton and the late Paul E. Ford. Loving brother of Albert Ford of Boston, Catherine Barrett of Watertown, Mary Anne McLellan of Raynham, Timothy Ford of Milton, Denise Ready of Pembroke, and Amy Warren of Quincy.
