Larry,
You're back with Mom, Dad, Ralph and Bobby now. I love you so much words can't even say. We had some times together, me, you and Bobby, didn't we? I will miss you every day of my life. I know you'll watch over the rest of us. Rest in peace, brother, until we meet again. Patty

I was deeply saddened to read of Larry's passing. He and I attended grade school together. We felt a sort of camaraderie because our birthdays were two days apart. Even as adults, on those rare occasions when our paths would cross, we would talk about our birthdays. My condolences to all of the Zimmer family, and may Larry rest in peace.
