I never saw a more tenacious, harder working detective than Larry when he worked the Nordbrock case in the 90's at Area 3. He was a dedicated police officer, gentleman, and funny guy. Rest in peace, Larry. My deepest sympathy to Patty and family.

Dear Patty, Larry Jr., Jennifer and all the grandkids I've never met. I'm very sad to hear of Larry's passing. There were few people I spent more time with while growing up than Larry and his sisters. We cousins were as close as siblings back in the day. We didn't see each other as much as we'd like in adulthood but the love's still there. Please accept my deepest sympathy.

May you rest in peace Larry. My most sincere condolences to Patty, Larry Jr., Jennifer and Christopher during this difficult time. Larry was a great partner and even greater man. I don't know if we laughed more at each other or the circus that surrounded us as we worked.

The best memory I have is at his Christening as he was older then the babies that were there and he wanted to talk with all of them. His godfather and I couldn't keep a straight face.
