Lawrence J. Sturgis, former Vice President of Wolff & Munier, Inc. and Executive Vice President of SMACNA (Sheet Metal & Air Conditioning Contractors of Southeastern NY), died on March 7, 2021 surrounded by his family. He was 84.

Known to his friends as Larry, he was born in Brooklyn, NY and attended Erasmus Hall High School. Instead of going to college on a football scholarship he joined the Army in 1956. Once back from serving he worked on Wall Street and later finished his education at City College of NY and pursued a career in the mechanical contracting field. He started his sheet metal shop in Hastings then on to Wolff & Munier, Inc where he was a project manager and VP, to ending his work journey at SMACNA. These talents served him and the association well until the age of 80 years old, when he retired.

“Larry was a consummate gentleman, a kind and caring man,” said Alan Seidman, Executive Director of the Construction Contractors Association and current Executive Vice President of SMACNA Southeastern NY.

Larry is predeceased by two sons. He is survived by his wife Mary of 59 years, and 2 daughters.
