Larry Vozella with the Red Sox
Championship Trophy
 Larry Vozella was elected the first president of the reorganized “E” Club of Everett, an organization of former and present varsity lettermen at Everett High School, in 1972, and he was re-elected as president in 1973. He was presently serving his 36th consecutive term as the executive director of the “E” Club. In addition, he has written the “E” Club’s informative bimonthly newsletter over the last 34 years.

In 1973, Vozella founded the beneficent “E” Club Scholarship Foundation, which has awarded $235,000 to more than 230 qualified and deserving student-athletes at EHS. Vozella always expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the loyal “E” Club members, business community, and friends of the “E” Club for their magnnimous support of the scholarship program.

The “E” Club’s Board of Governors voted to name one of the “E” Club’s scholarship awards in Vozella’s name in 1997. He was proud and honored to have signed and mailed every scholarship check since 1973. In addition, he was especially proud of the fact that the “E” Club has never been in the “red” and has always conducted itself as a “first class” organization, which is devoid of politics, religion, sexism, race, or nepotism.

A veteran of the Korean War from 1953 to 1955 with the 88th Infantry Battalion and a 1992 retired teacher of English at EHS for almost 30 years, Vozella presently served as the chairman of the Bouvier Jewelers Award (outstanding senior football player) and chairman of the Sam DeRosa Memorial Award (outstanding senior lineman). Furthermore, he provided local media articles on the recipients of the Carl McKinnon Memorial Unsung Hero Award and the Lenox Putnam Memorial Basketball Award.

Among his myriad honors and awards were the Italian-American Association of Everett Civic Achievement Award in 1985, the “E” Club’s Special Leadership Award in 1989, and the Mayor’s Outstanding Community Service Award in 1993.

Vozella was a charter and life member of the “E” Club, a member of Italian-American Association of Everett, a life member of the Everett Lodge of Elks, a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars (Post 834), and a member of the “E” Club’s One Hundred Plus Scholarship Foundation Club. Larry also wrote a weekly sports column titled “Sports Scrapbook” and a “Super Trivia Quiz” for the Everett Advocate.

Larry was honored with the “E” Club’s Board of Governors' prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award. He also hit the ball into the screen at Fenway Park!

Larry was dedicated to Everett High School, Crimson Tide Sports and his beloved "E" Club. Good-bye Larry and THANK YOU!
