I was very sorry to here of your loss. Larry was a friend to everyone and loved by everyone. Always smiling and always had kind words. A life well lived. I will continue to include him and his family in my prayers as I know he prayed for me and my family. He was so generous that way. The last time I saw him was at Price Chopper about a year ago. When he saw me, his face lit up with joy and we had a nice conversation. He had the gift of brightening up your day. He was a true gift from God. RIP Larry.
