Lawrence A. Schwartz of Dover, MA, passed away January 15, 2026 surrounded by his loving family after a brief, courageous battle with cancer. He is survived by his beloved wife, Gloria, his daughter, Julia, son, Richard, daughter-in-law Caitlin and their two children, Lawrence and Grace. His oldest son, Abraham, predeceased him.

Larry was a CPA in practice for almost 50 years specializing in planning and compliance for high-net-worth individuals, corporations, and businesses in transition. He was an Accredited Estate Planner and past president of the Boston Estate Planning Counsel. He served on the Board of the ESSCO-MGH Breast Cancer Fund, which sponsored early angel investments into disease research. He was recently named Emeritus Member of the Board of Governors for Shriners Children’s Boston hospital after nine years as an active member. Serving on the hospital board was a true passion and he was instrumental in elevating the organization’s fundraising efforts.

Larry developed life-long friendships with the people he served. Clients became friends, friends became like family, and he was serving second-generation clients until his passing. He will be remembered professionally for his dedication, integrity, creativity, and humor.

It was his own children and grandchildren that gave him purpose and smiles. Together with his wife, Gloria, they enjoyed holidays, family vacations, and old-fashioned meals together.

The family are long-time members of Temple Beth Elohim in Wellesley, where services will be held on Wednesday, January 21, 2026 at 10:30 am.  Interment will follow in Beit Olam East Cemetery, Wayland.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be directed in his honor to Shriners Children’s Boston, 51 Blossom St., Boston, MA, 02114. Attention: Shiva Damghany.
