Larry Yameen was born and educated in Lawrence. He has always called Eaton Street home for both family life and work. Larry began working in the restaurant business with his father and stayed for sixteen years. Thirty-five years ago he started his commercial and residential real estate company where he is active today. Larry is clearly devoted to his family, wife, Loretta, three children, four grandchildren and five great grandchildren.
Larry’s real passion lies with the Exchange Club of Lawrence where he has served as a member for 35 years and a past president. The Club focuses its mission on Child Abuse Prevention. It feeds more than 600 children a Thanksgiving dinner each year and at Christmas members take over the McDonalds on Andover Street to cook meals for kids and provide a gift for each child at this special event. $20,000 was raised by the Club for scholarships this past year. Larry was also a founding member of the Michael Christensen Family Support Center. The Exchange Clubs of the Merrimack Valley in cooperation with the Greater Lawrence Community Action Council help families at risk throughout the North Shore area, now expanding to Salem, NH.
