Helen & JR - please accept my sympathy for the loss of your father. I have many fond memories of "Uncle Larry" from when I was a kid, from the block parties on Troy to the summertime Sundays at Coal City. Memories like that last a lifetime, and although it's been years since I have seen you all, they brought a smile to my face this morning. May you find peace and comfort in your memories of your dad, and may Uncle Larry rest in peace.

Our hearts and prayers go out to you Aunt B., Helen and J.R. as we mourn your loss.

Love,

Tom and Ollie
