Larry was my Uncle and my friend. Always there to make you smile, laugh or feel good about yourself. He loved kids & they loved him. A great person to be around, he made every event more joyful. He will be greatly missed but never forgotten by those whose lives he touched.

I want to express my sincere heart felt sympathy and deepest condolences.



I remember a man so friendly and cheerful who would only share moments that who would have thought would be so precious.



Larry was a caring man who would give you time from his busy day to extend a warm welcome conversation. His humor was grand and always made sure he had that personal touch yet so professional.



He will be greatly missed!I never had the opportunity to meet him in person, to see his smile or shake his hand but I have the memories so vivid and dearly in my thoughts forever.



My sincere condolences to his wife Nancy, his family and friends at this difficult time.
