Honoring the Memory of Larry Urena

Donation protected
In February 2019 we suddenly lost an amazing man, a dedicated husband, a fantastic father and our dear friend Larry Urena.   Larry will be missed by many, many people.
 
Larry had a fantastic sense of humor, an incredible work ethic and a true love for life.  He was forever upbeat, kind, thoughtful, generous and loyal.  He was father to two amazing children, Samantha, his 26 year old daughter and his son Jack, now 15.   Larry made sure that his daughter Samantha completed her college education and he enjoyed watching her graduate from UCSB. 

Larry was also dedicated to the dream of seeing his son Jack enjoy the college experience and follow in his footsteps. 

However, Larry won't be here now to see Jack through to complete that journey.

The family has requested, in lieu of flowers, that a contribution to Jack's 529 Plan for his college education is the perfect way to honor Larry.

This GoFundMe campaign was started by Larry's UCLA fraternity brothers who enjoyed his great sense of humor and loved him dearly.  Every penny contributed here will go directly to Jack's 529 Plan which was set up to honor a special man - Lawrence Michael Urena.

Thank you for thinking of Maria, Jack and Samantha as we all work together to help complete Larry's dream that Jack attend college.

[Disclosure - the GoFundMe team has asked that I state the following - this campaign was organized by me, Hugh Martin Menin, also known as Marty Menin . . . I will be withdrawing these funds on a monthly basis and will be sending every penny I receive, along with a complete list of donors to represent each respective deposit, to the 529 Plan set up for the benefit of Jack Urena - This GoFundMe campaign will remain open for at least one year from March 30, 2019, the date of Larry's Memorial Service - thank you all for your generosity.]


(Further full disclosure - the GoFundMe website collects a transaction fee [a "payment processing fee" of 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction] from each donation - they provide the "platform" for free, please be aware that their request for "tips" has nothing to do with this campaign, that is standard GoFundMe operating procedure and cannot be removed).
