Dear brothers and sisters of Larry,
I am very sorry about the death of Larry. I worked with Larry for about 20 years. He was very kind, a friend to all his co-workers, very smart, and a great leader. His kindness made working at Vitro/BAE a pleasure, one of the reasons for its success.

I worked with Larry for about eight years; he was one of the finest and smartest men I've ever known. He will be missed.

Larry and I played on the CUA basketball team when he was a Senior and I was a Freshman. Larry later helped me get a summer job at Vitro while I was still at CUA. He was a friend of the family and was well liked and respected by my mother and four sisters.
I regret that I was unable to attend his funeral. I have had a Mass said for Larry and will remember him in my prayers.

I worked with Larry at Vitro Labs for many years. When I was layed off in 1991 Larry was the only one who was concerned enough to send me job leads. He was also the first to send out notices of any of our Vitro friends who passed.

Larry was a classmate and friend from our days at St. Aloysius School. He was always quiet and unassuming, so we never knew how smart he was until the test scores came back. I pray that he may now be enjoying the God whom he loved.
In our Lord,

Larry was a very caring and giving person. He was always looking out for and helping others by giving of his free time, through sponsored help programs to mentor those less fortunate. He was one of my favorite and most respected persons. May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
