The Larry Vargo Memorial Scholarship will be awarded to a deserving young person in the memory of Larry Vargo. Larry was a member of the class of 1980. He was inducted into the Lancers Forever Hall-of-Fame in 2018. Click here to see his induction plaque.
Larry was a two-sport star during his time at Gallagher. He excelled on the field earning All-Catholic and All-state honors in football. He received a football scholarship to Eastern Michigan University where he played one season.
Larry tragically passed away on September 29, 2021 at the age of 59 after a short illness. Larry’s accomplishments off the field are what he will be remembered for. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, son, brother, friend and teammate. Family meant everything to Larry.
Bishop Gallagher was also one of Larry’s loves. It was Larry’s wish that anyone wanting to “do something” on his passing, donate to the Bishop Gallagher Football Alumni. The BGFA will create a scholarship fund in Larry’s name with all donations. Like the George Sahadi Memorial Scholarship, the Larry Vargo Memorial Scholarship will help a needy young person complete their education and begin their journey towards a successful life.
