Lawrence J. Sindoni, a former territory sales manager for Couristan, died April 14. He was 73. 

Sindoni began his career with Massachusetts-based retailer Jordan Marsh and was responsible for building the store’s area rug assortment as the senior buyer for that category. After 19 years there, he joined Couristan in 1980 and for more than two decades he managed the company’s area rug and residential broadloom distribution throughout northern New England. He retired from Couristan in May 2005.

“Larry was with Couristan during a period of significant growth and change and he will always be remembered for his tremendous contributions during that important time. He was sincerely appreciated for his dedication to our company, his passionate leadership qualities and his truly generous spirit,” said Ron Couri, president and CEO of Couristan, Inc. “I speak on behalf of the entire Couristan team in saying that he will be deeply missed.”

Sindoni is survived by his wife, two children and nine grandchildren. Donations may be made in Sindoni’s memory to Make A Wish Foundation, One Bullfinch - Suite 2, Boston, MA. 02114
