Laurence Michael Maher

Scarborough - Larry was born on March 5, 1978, in Ireland, the son of Laurence and Marie Maher. He grew up in Kilkenny where he attended the local school, Callan CBS, before heading to Dublin to attend DCU to study business. After college, he headed off traveling for a year with the lads to have a bit of craic (fun). It was on this trip in 2001, where he met the love of his life, Elizabeth Veroneau, in Sydney, Australia on Paddy’s Day. For the next 5 years, they continued their long-distance love between Boston and Dublin before eventually tying the knot in Portland, Maine on September 29, 2006. Larry was full of love and fun. A family man through and through, he adored his weekly date and game nights with Elizabeth, coaching Saoirse and Ava’s soccer teams, and cheering on Liverpool FC with Ciara. He loved family walks and hikes, mountain biking, time on Ferry Beach, Fuller Farm visits with his dog Chloe, and the annual trip to Brandy Pond. He had a zest for life and a strong love of sport. He played on local soccer leagues, recently completed his first marathon, but hurling was his favorite. He really enjoyed his connection with the Portland Hurling Club, and always supported the Kilkenny Cats. His passion for life extended into his career which he took great pride in. Always a hard and dedicated worker, Larry worked a few different jobs in finance, but most notably at Vigilant Capital, LLC for 12 years in investment operations. He is survived by his wife, Elizabeth Maher; daughters Ciara, Ava, and Saoirse Maher; parents Laurence and Marie Maher; sisters, Breda Kelly and husband Kieran, Sinead O’Shea and husband Alan, Siobhan Carrigan and husband Martin; grandfather Mickey Holden, all of Ireland; mother-in-law, Kathleen Veroneau; father-in-law, Gerard Veroneau; sisters-in-law, Danielle Veroneau and husband David Berry, Kaitlin Hamiliton; brother-in-law, Matt Veroneau and his wife Celeste Reali Veroneau; and many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins.
