Raymond Lawrence Sheedy Greer, SC - Raymond Lawrence "Larry" Sheedy, 75, passed away on Sunday, July 4, 2021. Born and raised in Charleston, SC, he was the son of the late Patrick and Lois Sheedy. Larry was a devout Catholic, having been a longtime altar server at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Charleston and continuing as a longtime parishioner of Prince of Peace Catholic Church in Taylors. After graduating from Clemson University, he served a tour of duty in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War.
