Lawrence is the son of Arthur and Mary Levy and the grandson of Barnett and Ida Breslow. Barnett and Ida Breslow were the original first settlers of Woodbine.

When he moved to Millville in 1959, he married his high school sweetheart, Eleanor Saul Levy. Larry worked for Armstrong Corporation as a glass worker and was there until the factory closed in 1999. He was the Woodbine representative for the American Legion Post in Boys State. He has worked with the Historical Society of Cape May County and the Sam Azeez Museum of Woodbine Heritage.
“As our official Historian, Larry has a wealth of background information on the history of Woodbine that we are proud to have him share at our local County Library Branch here in Woodbine,” added Mayor Pikolycky. ”His ancestors had much to do with the shaping of the community as we know it today.”
