PLYMOUTH, Mass. One of the bright lights of the New England bus fraternity, Lawrence A. Anzuoni Jr., president of Brush Hill Transportation Co., died here late last month of cancer. He was 58.

Mr. Anzuoni grew up in a motorcoach family, going to work for the company founded by his grandfather in 1920.

The business was started as Service Bus Lines but changed its name after it acquired Brush Hill Transportation in 1954. The Brush Hill name had originated because the company initially transported domestics employed by large estates on Brush Hill Road in Milton, Mass.

Mr. Anzuoni joined Brush Hill, which was being run by his father, Larry Sr., in 1976, after graduating from Merrimack College in North Andover, Mass.

Early on, Mr. Anzuoni worked throughout the business, learning all aspects of the transportation operation, before taking on a position in sales and marketing.

In 1981, he was instrumental in expanding the company into sightseeing, creating the Beantown Trolley Tour division with his father.

Today, the company offers a variety of services, ranging from shuttles of all sorts to a Gray Line sightseeing operation, to casino runs and cross-country tours.

Mr. Anzuoni was an active member of numerous industry groups, including the American Bus Association, the National Tour Association, New England Bus Association, American Sightseeing International, and the Greater Boston Convention and Visitor's Bureau.

Besides buses, Mr. Anzuonis other passion in recent years was playing drums in a rock-and-roll band, the Fabulous Knuckleheads. He also was an auto enthusiast. Survivors include his wife, Donna; son, Lawrence III; mother, Jeanette; and three sisters.

A memorial has been established: The Lawrence A. Anzuoni Jr. Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund, c/o Rockland Trust, 1 Pilgrim Hill Road, Plymouth, MA 02360.
