NYC COUNCIL MEMBER DROMM STATEMENT ON THE PASSING OF LARRY LOMBARDI

UsaNewsOnline.Com Desk, New York : Longtime LGBT activist Larry Lombardi passed away peacefully on Saturday in his apartment in his own bed.  Larry was the longtime treasurer of the Lesbian and Gay Democratic Club of Queens.  He was an active member of the Queens Center for Gay Seniors in Jackson Heights.  Larry was also active in the Queens Lesbian and Gay Pride Committee which runs the borough’s LGBT Pride Parade annually.  He was 83 years old.
“Larry was an amazing human being and he will be sorely missed by all who were lucky to know him,” said NYC Council Member Daniel Dromm.  “Larry spent at least the last 26 years of his life fighting for the rights of LGBT people in Queens and beyond.  He was a progressive fighter who took to the streets to fight for the things he believed in.  He was active in LGBT causes until the very end.  I was fortunate to spend time with Larry on Wednesday in the Queens Center for Gay Seniors.  He was on oxygen but was in good spirits.  Rest in peace my friend and ally.”  
A memorial service will be held in January.  Details will be forthcoming. Press Release.
