Local 3 Massachusetts/Maine/New Hampshire/Rhode Island

Lawrence “Larry” Durso was initiated as an apprentice in former BAC Local 10 Massachusetts in November 1939. After serving in the military during World War II, he joined the family business with his father who was also a Gold Card member of BAC, uncle, and four brothers. The firm worked as a combination development company and general contractor throughout the New England area. Their list of clients included Howard Johnson Restaurants, Esso Gas Stations and McDonald’s, just to name a few. 

“Brother Durso is 101 years young, and in great health,” BAC Local 3 MA/ME/NH/RI President Chuck Raso said. “By presenting this plaque, we want to celebrate his life-time service to our Union and contributions to the industry.”  

Local 3 MA/ME/NH/RI leaders had the honor of presenting 75-year member Larry Durso with a plaque to recognize his service to the Union.
