Edward Lawrence (Larry) Hannaway Jr., a prominent attorney in Philadelphia for thirty years, died on Tuesday, February 24, 2015 in Haverford Pennsylvania. Larry was born in 1944 in Manchester New Hampshire. He was the son of the late Dr. Edward L. Hannaway and Madelyn (Pat) Broderick Hannaway. He attended Villanova University where he received his BS in 1966. Larry attended George Washington University Law School and was awarded a JD with honors in 1971. He continued at GW as a Lecturer in Law, and earned his Masters in Law (LL.M) in 1974. Larry earned admissions to the Pennsylvania Bar, U.S. Court of Claims, U.S. District Court and U.S. Court of Appeals, Third Circuit. He was a member of the Philadelphia and American Bar Associations, Association of Trial Lawyers of America, Pennsylvania Trial Lawyers Association and the Philadelphia Trial Lawyers Association. Larry's first job after law school was with the Office of General Counsel at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Larry specialized in the regulation of interstate land sales, where he litigated a number of cases against parties who falsified their registration statements or failed to make proper disclosures to prospective purchasers. From there, Larry secured a position as a trial attorney with Civil Division of the U.S Department of Justice. He handled a number of significant cases by and against the United States, including a stint in Guam and Hawaii defending the United States Navy. After his years at the Justice Department, Larry returned to Philadelphia to enter private practice. He was at the firm of Kates, Livesey, and Mazzacone before moving on to open his own practice specializing in medical malpractice. Larry had a sharp intellect and was a formidable debater, but also a great tease, especially with those he loved. He shared his many sporting interests with his family and encouraged his kids to play tennis and basketball, as well as other sports (even golf!). He loved jazz and his beloved dogs, but most of all he loved his family. Larry is survived by his loving wife of over 30 years, Dr. Barbara (Hazel) Ann Hannaway and his two children: Dr. Maria Madelyn Hannaway and John (Jack) William Hannaway. His siblings Dr. Jane Hannaway of Washington DC, John Hannaway ESQ of Baltimore Maryland, and Judith Hannaway Zikry of New York City are mourning his loss and will miss him greatly. The family would like to thank the extended family as well as the multitude of great friends who have always been there for Larry. We all appreciated his great sense of humor, his contagious passions and always recognized him as a great companion, a loyal friend and an outstanding person. His younger brother, Mark B. Hannaway ESQ, whom he missed greatly, predeceased Larry; hopefully, Mark will be there to greet him and they are reunited. The service will be held at The Church of the Redeemer, in Bryn Mawr PA, on Friday March 6th 2015 at 11am. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Main Line Deputy Dog, an organization committed to improving the lives of individuals with physical or psychiatric disabilities through interaction with dogs.
