My thoughts and prayers are with all of you this past week and especially today. It's too hard to say good bye but rejoice for Larry for he is flying free now. No more pain and no more suffering. He will watch over you and your families every day! Look for his signs because he truly loved all of you!

I din't know Larry very well, but I visited him a few times when he was in the nursing home. I thought he was a wonderful person with a beautiful outlook, although he was almost completely paralyzed. He was quite a guy!!!! (Debby Danoff)
