I was unaware that Larry passed away. I worked for him when I was in my 20s and kept in contact with him for several years thereafter. I have not spoken to him in over a year and now I've came across his obituary. You will be missed Larry. You always loved giving me a hard time.

So sorry to hear of Larry's passing. Larry and Hardy were long time child hood friends who my brothers and I played with together at Houston School close to our homes.

I am so sorry about Larry's passing. I was in Denison several weeks ago and called. I had no idea he had been ill. Larry and I went to jr. and high school together. We had some wild and crazy times. I am deeply saddened by his loss. My positive thoughts are with the family and friends.
