Obituary of Larry J. Burnstein

Larry J. Burnstein passed away in Denver on March 21, 2021. He was born January 27, 1951 to beloved parents Abe and Janice Burnstein. He is survived by his sister Lynn Ocone and her husband Michael MacCaskey, both of whom will forever love and miss Larry.

Larry is also survived by his cherished aunt Snookie Shwayder, and first cousins who were a big part of his life: Kerri Greenberg, Bonnie Kassell, and Rae Mahaffey. While Larry touched the lives of countless others with his kindness and generosity, he especially loved, and was loved in return, by longtime friends Marlene Fisher, Jason Case, and David Cohen.

Donations can be made to MaxFund, a no-kill animal shelter supported by Larry.
