What a wonderful person. I knew Larry a long time ago and he helped me get thru a pretty bad time in my life. I promised that I would always love Larry for that. He was so sad when his dog Coke died it broke my heart. Larry would do anything for anyone and was very much loved around the Crystal area. What a descent man. Larry will be deeply missed. I will carry special memories of Larry with me always.

I worked for Larry at DMB. I have been retired for a couple of years and was very shocked to see that he has passed away. He was always fun and had a smile on his face everyday. May you find comfort and peace in your days ahead. Cindy Shaw
