We knew Larry when he was younger, 16-22 years old. He was very funny even then, with a wit and sense of humor unusual in someone so young. It seems that humor was shared and enjoyed by many people in his adult life! Our deep sympathy goes out to his wife Jean, his two daughters, his sisters and the rest of his family. May you be comforted by the lives he touched with his warmth and humor. Thinking of you all during this holiday season and beyond.

I worked with Larry for almost 15 years. I could always count on a joke or humor of some kind. Larry was a perfectionist and had a wealth of knowledge about hvac. To Me, he was real help and mentor, and I will truly miss him. I pray that God will bring comfort to the wonderful family Larry leaves behind.

I worked with Larry for almost 15 years. I found Larry to always be ready with a joke or some other humor. He had a wealth of knowledge and was a superior HVAC technician. I have many fond memories, and will greatly miss him. My prayers go out to his wife and kids.

Larry was an excellent technician, when he was working he was all business, so a lot of people don't realize how funny and quick witted he was. I didn't really know Larry outside of work, but I do know how much he loved his wife and two daughters. Much respect Larry, good bye buddy.

Larry, you will always be in our hearts and will be missed very much by all. You were a great neighbor and friend, not to mention a loving father to Carrie & Alex, and an awesome husband to Jean. Your funny faces, dances and comedic ways will never be forgotten. Rest in peace and please know we'll be there for your family.

I worked with Larry at Davis and Davis and valued his dry wit and sharp mind. He was one of the finest techs that I ever worked with and was always helpful. My heart goes out to Jean, Carrie and Alex. You three were the center of his universe.

To our dear friends, Jean, Larry, Carrie, and Alex. We are so saddened by Larry's passing. We have lost a beloved member of our Oakview family and he will be missed. Larry's smile and good natured grin will always be etched in our memory, but he should be most proud of the wonderful legacy he leaves behind, his two beautiful daughters, Carrie and Alex.
With all our love, The Edwards, (which is how Larry referred to us :-)
