Malcolm Barlow

Larry last spoke with me May 16.  We only touched on the law - our usual topic.  Larry talked mainly that day about his family and a bit about sports.  Larry knew my daughter, Atty. Cynthia Barlow, from their work in criminal court.  Both did defense work.  Cynthia always found Larry a great guy for talk about law and life.  She had great respect for him, and his devotion to his clients.

My high school recollections of Larry was as a smart and funny guy.  We went to UConn Law about the same time.  We practiced in different regions and in different fields of the law.  But our paths crossed often enough for us to keep track of each other.  I was very fond of Larry.  A kind and decent man.  

I will miss Larry Bates.

Sandra: Happy birthday. I have been running into our classmates more often of late. All good people. Larry Bates for one. This afternoon I met Suzanne d'Avignon, now Berwick, also a good person. You are among the best of our Class of '61. Hope all is well with you and Frank.

Happy Birthday Michael. Have I ever mentioned to you my thanks for your sister Susan marrying me 56 years ago. Major game changer. So, thanks.

Larry: Happy Birthday. Soon we'll all be in our 80s.
Born on the Fourth of July. Sounds like a song.

Hank: Happy Birthday on the 28th. When I remember at first, I see you playing basketball for the Indians (now Red Hawks). What I recall best is your career with the Manchester Police Department. You became Manchester's chief, and maybe our best. Our police department remains exemplary. My nephew-in-law, Dan Doyon, has been a proud member of the local blue line.
Hope you enjoy your day.

George: Happy birthday. Hope all is well with your 79th year. Please say hello to my favorite SBM teller - Margaret.

Larry: There must be a connection between your birthday and your life. Some fireworks in both. Certainly not dull. Happy Birthday.

Happy Birthday Peg.
by the way, this year 5/13 falls on a Friday. My sister Alyce has the same birthday. Our family is having a grand gathering to celebrate. Every Friday the 13th on her birthday has been a most lucky day for her. It has also been most lucky for me. May it be so for you as well.

Hank: The police station you built still serves Manchester well. And the department continues serving the community well. Officers take pride in wearing their uniform here. And this despite all the world's turmoil. I wonder sometimes if you had any thoughts about all this while we attended Manchester High School. You are a key part of the department's legacy, and present good standing.
By the way, a nephew of mine, Daniel Doyon, is serving on the department. He seems to be making a good name for himself.
Did you know that your basketball team was known as the Indians, and is now known as the Red Hawks? Could you have played any better if you were a Red Hawk?!
I hope you enjoy your birthday.

Sandra: Happy Birthday. Hope all is well.

Larry: Happy Birthday. May there be many more. Hope you getting comfortable with your retirement.

Happy Birthday Elaine. Did you pass on your baton twirling talent to daughter and granddaughter?

Barry: Happy Birthday. Every time I drive by the Truman Cowles Park on the Cheney Rail Trail, I think of you and your family. The Cheney Rail Trail is now complete from the North End Depot to the Cheney mills in the South end. Without your father's generosity, it would not exist. Hope you are staying healthy during this pandemic.
