Harry Larrison, Jr.

Harry Larrison Jr. (May 28, 1926 – May 29, 2005) was an American Republican Party politician, who served on the Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders from February 12, 1966, to December 2, 2004. The nearly 39 years that Larrison served marked the longest tenure of a Freeholder in New Jersey history.

On February 12, 1966, Larrison was appointed to a vacancy on the Board of Chosen Freeholders caused by the resignation of Charles I. Smith; in November of that year he was elected to the first of 13 consecutive three-year terms. He would continuously serve as a freeholder until December 2, 2004, when he resigned due to failing health.

Freeholder Larrison served as director in 1977–1978, from 1981 to 1983, and again from 1986 to 2004.

On April 27, 2005, Larrison was charged by federal prosecutors with accepting $8,500 in bribes to help developers gain approval for their projects, but died before the case was heard.

Larrison died at age 79 of cancer on May 29, 2005, at Jersey Shore University Medical Center.
