I wish that there was some way to encompass the love that our family felt towards Larry. We are so fortunate to have had him in our lives. The immense support, prayers, and love received from all of our family and friends was extremely comforting. I'd have to say that Rich's eulogy was undoubtedly the best I've ever heard. Mary, his wife and best friend, has been a pillar of strength through all of this. My family is the greatest treasure I have and although we'll miss Larry tremendously, we know that he's up with our Dad and he's not suffering anymore. As I write this I can hear him say to me, "OK, Baby". You know he loved you when he called you Baby".

Larry's favorite sister :) Nancy
