Lawrence Charles Richter

Lawrence Charles Richter, age 66, passed away peacefully on Saturday, November 19, 2022, at Hewitt Health and Rehab Center. Born in Bridgeport, CT on March 27, 1956, he was the son of the late Edmund and Virginia Richter. Larry lived in Trumbull his entire life and graduated from Trumbull High School in 1975. Early on, he was employed at DM Reads and Stew Leonard’s, then worked over 20 years at Stop and Shop prior to his illness.

Larry was a devoted member of the Derby Elks since the mid-1980s. Many of the members were like his extended family. In 2006, he enjoyed serving as their exalted ruler and one of the highlights of that year was traveling to their national convention in Florida. Larry loved sports and was a devoted Mets and Raiders fan. He was an avid bird watcher and loved animals. He is survived by his siblings: Arlene Ross and husband, Donald of Fairfield, Jim Richter of Las Vegas, Judy Schmidt and husband, Donald of Trumbull and John Richter of Trumbull; in addition to many nieces and nephews. He will be greatly missed by his beloved cat, Bozey.
