Lawrence R. Gill, age 71, of Stratford, passed away on November 30, 2022 at his home. He is survived by his wife, Marianne (Barvenik) Gill, daughter, Shannon Gill, sons, Seth Gill & Devin Gill, LG & PG, sister, Colleen Gill & family, and the entire extended Barvenik family of which he was a loved and cherished member. He devoted his life to his family, home, nature, and being silly. He loved his antique tractor, getting the best deal at tag sales and finding treasures that others didn't see. He was always eager to share his knowledge and lend a helping hand. A lifelong craftsman, proudly worked at New England Stair Company for the past 40 years. Following Larry's wishes, no services will be held…instead, get up early, grab a coffee with extra sugar and enjoy a sunrise while thinking of him. He will be loved and missed forever.
