We were in shear Shock to hear that Larry passed. He was a very dear friend as well as Joanne and we were just starting to get together a great deal and make plans for future excursions and time together! Larry was an incredible guy and we loved sharing with him. We will miss Larry to the utmost and will have to be content emotionally knowing that Larry is in his forever home with GOD in heaven. We all just weren´t ready to share Larry with heaven - much too soon!

I was so sad to see Larry's death notice today. I remember the good times we had quilting as a group. I still quilt for veterans. May your memories of Larry give you comfort.
