Lawrence H. Graff, at the age of 92, went home to be with the Lord on Saturday,

He was a native Of New Orleans and Resided in Mandeville La. 

He was preceded in death by his son Lawrence Graff Jr., Jacqueline Graff,

Lawrence is Survived by his two Daughters Julie Pitard and Darlene Finnan, his

Larry served in the Merchant Marines during WWII. He was a member of the 
Gideons, where he participated in prison ministry, bringing many to accept the 
Lord as their Savior. 
He was an avid outdoorsman who loved to hunt and fish. His main passions in 
life was gardening and music. He played the harmonica, banjo, guitar, and 
violin. 
Larry was a member of the banjo group called “Two banjo’s plus one” where he 
played on riverboats and volunteered at retirement centers and nursing 
facilities. 

Larry was loved by many people. He was a kind heart that lit up a room wherever 
he went. The most admirable thing about him is that he was able to minister to 
people and led countless people to Christ.
