Lawrence Agust Snellman, 55, a resident of Palm Coast, FL, died on Monday, April 15, 2013.
Born in the Bronx on October 3, 1957, he was the son of Nanny Tjader Snellman of Fairfield, CT and the late Bror Lars. As a teenager, he was raised in Hillside Lake and attended John Jay High School. Larry found God as a teenager at Schroon Lake and was a member of Our Savior Lutheran Church in Fishkill. He was employed as a dock builder for many years. Larry met many friends through Bill W. as part of the Hopewell Junction group for 24 years and then in Palm Coast where he continued to build on and make new friends. Larry loved the outdoors and the serene beauty around him, which he was thankful for daily.
