InfoVermont Supreme Court Justice. He graduated from Holy Cross College in 1936 and received his degree from Harvard Law School in 1939. Larrow practiced in Burlington, and was city attorney from 1944 to 1963.

From 1949 to 1951 he served in the Vermont House of Representatives.

In 1952 Larrow was the Democratic nominee for governor, and his vigorous campaign netted him 40 percent of the vote against incumbent Lee Emerson. This was the best showing for a Democrat in decades, and helped re-energize the party after years of Republican dominance. (Republicans won every statewide election for over 100 years beginning in 1854.)

Larrow campaigned unsuccessfully for state attorney general in 1962, and mayor of Burlington in 1963.

He was chairman of the Vermont Liquor Control Board from 1963 to 1966. From 1966 to 1974 he was a Judge of the Vermont Superior Court. In 1974 Larrow was appointed a Justice of the Vermont Supreme Court, and he served until he retired in 1981.
