We were very saddened to hear of Larry’s passing. He was such a great, affable guy. We’ve known Larry and many of the Visconti clan in Muskegon for nearly 50 years, ever since Visconti’s Tavern opened on Pine St. Visconti’s was our favorite watering hole, loved for its diverse patrons from the neighborhood, the County Building, lawyers, judges and others from throughout the Muskegon community. In fact we and a couple of other Visconti regulars decided to buy the pub, rather than lose it when the Visconti family wanted to divest. We renamed the bar “J.P. Allen’s” and pledged to carry on the ambiance, good cheer and friendly pub environment that characterized Visconti’s—also, the great the softball team! I think we did a fair job of continuing the Visconti legacy and Larry’s role in it. In this time of sorrow, we sincerely feel the family’s loss. Here’s to Larry!
