Larry is survived by his daughter, Alaina Jamie Bouchard and three grandchildren, Gabriel, Alexander and Chloe, four siblings; Nancy (Bouchard) Belliveau and husband Tom of Leominster, Carol (Bouchard) Ellis and husband Leo, who passed away in 1991, Mike Bouchard of Fitchburg, Bruce Bouchard and wife Carol of Woburn.  His love for children also leaves behind many nieces and nephews: Brian, Kelly, Christina, Alicia, Kara, Christopher, Nicholas, Amander, and godfather to Joel Krantz and Brian Belliveau.
