4. REMEMBERING LARRY
This past weekend, one of Kaleidoscope's most cherished friends passed away after a long battle with cancer. Larry Gower, the husband of Debbie Gower (Evil Queen in "Snow White" and Dumdora in "Rapunzel"), was always willing to go the extra mile to help Kaleidoscope. He often toured with Debbie and would volunteer to help with the sets and props. He was an accomplished performer in his own right and frequently accompanied Debbie on the piano. His beautiful playing and his beautiful smile will be sorely missed.
The wake will be held this Wednesday, October 22nd from 4:00-8:00pm at the J.J. Duffy Funeral Home, 757 Mendon Rd Cumberland, RI. The funeral service will be held the following Thursday at 9:00am at St. John Vianney 3609 Diamond Hill Rd Cumberland, RI. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in his memory to the Home and Hospice Care of RI, 169 George Street Pawtucket, RI 02860.
