East Baldwin, ME – Lawrence E. Seidl, III, 31, of East Baldwin and Carrabassett Valley, passed away in Skowhegan on June 10, 2007 from injuries received in a motor vehicle accident.

He was born in Tampa, FL on Dec. 17, 1975 a son of Lawrence E. Jr. and Elaine J. Kronick Seidl.

Larry was a 1993 graduate of Sacopee Valley High School and was an integral part of the family business, L.E. Seidl Jr. Trucking. He also was a published freelance photojournalist and his photos and articles were published in local papers such as ‘No Umbrella.’

Larry lived life to the fullest and was an avid outdoor enthusiast. He was a skilled whitewater kayaker, and enjoyed spending time on the rivers with his many friends across the country. He also enjoyed downhill skiing and did so in the Swiss Alps as well as numerous mountains in the U.S. Among his many other interests were tele-skiing, ice and rock climbing, biking and motorcycling. Larry also was known as an environmentalist and animal-rights activist.

Larry and his friends enjoyed rebuilding vintage Land Rovers and one local paper described him as “able to build a four-wheel drive out of the junk in your basement.” His friends describe him as a natural comedian with a quick wit and always willing to do anything to help a friend. He will be remembered as a great son and brother and will be sadly missed.

Besides his parents of East Baldwin, Larry is survived by two sisters: Amy, of Boston, MA; Alison Irish and her husband Bob Irish of Sebago, Maine, as well as their two boys, Joseph and Zack. He is also survived by his maternal grandmother, Eve A. Greene of Delray Beach, FL; his long-time love, Johanna Fowler; and many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
