Today, we share the difficult news of the passing of Larry Philipson, a truly remarkable individual who embodied the heart and mission of The Arc Tampa Bay for the past 35 years.

Larry was a constant source of compassion, connection, and support. He had a rare gift for making people feel seen and heard. No matter how busy the day, Larry always made time to stop, check in, and genuinely ask how he could help. Every staff member knew him, and more importantly, felt valued by him.

Larry often began his days at the office around 4:00 a.m., driven by a deep sense of responsibility and care. He took immense pride in the buildings, ensuring that each space was safe, welcoming, and reflective of the dignity of those we serve.

His selflessness and dedication to others defined who he was. Larry consistently put people first, living out our mission not just in words, but through his everyday actions. He brought dedication, a tireless effort, and a sense of family to our organization that cannot be replaced.

The Arc Tampa Bay family has lost not only a team member, but the very heart of our organization. His impact will continue to be felt in the lives he touched and the culture he helped shape.

Larry will be deeply missed but never forgotten.
