It's with a heavy heart that I share with you the passing of Larry
Ostrowski, who died peacefully at his home following a long, painful fight
with Multiple System Atrophy.   Larry was a dedicated Director and a real
gentleman Librarian who was always kind and compassionate.



During his ten years as the White Lake Library Director, Larry was an
active "working" friend of the Library. He was proud of the annual Friends
of the Library Mini-golf fundraiser and personally hauled the course to
many other libraries for fundraisers.



Representing the Library and embracing a life of community service, Larry
was happily involved with many causes in White Lake. He was active on the
committees which planned and implemented the Community Tree Lighting,
Easter Egg Hunt, Pumpkin Hunt, and Fisk Farm Festival. He trained to be a
Volunteer Firefighter and attended the Citizens Police Academy, where they
marveled at his skills as a marksman. Larry and his wife Margaret were also
active members of the Historical Society, Huron Valley
Optimist Club, Highland/ White Lake Business Association, and especially
Holy Spirit Catholic Church.



The funeral will be tomorrow in Toledo with visitation today at the Coyle
Funeral Home.  Here is a link to his obituary

, which highlights his passion for serving others.


Best regards, Denise
