We are so saddened to hear about Larry ( and Barb) passing. We have such fond memories of them. They were best friends with my Dad, Gene Maccardini. Florida was great times and they were together almost every day! Now they are all together again and pain free... and at peace with God in heaven.....probably having a glass of wine (Larry has his big glass of water too) having a good old time !!
We loved them dearly.!!
