Sorry to hear this news Theresa. Sounds like he was a wonderful guy and that there is much love in your family. I walked by your old house in Piedmont today! I also remember you as one of the nicest people at school. Best to you and the family.

I just learned of Larry's passing. I worked with him for many years at Walsh Construction in the field and he made those days the best days ever. I can't believe he is gone, how I will miss the guy who was great creating something from a random piece of lumber.
My thoughts and prayers to his family, he was taken too soon from this world.

Theresa and Rachel and the family: I was shocked to hear that Larry had passed. I spent some time thinking about him and of course both of you. No one could ask for better neighbors and I always thought Larry was one of my kind of guys. Simply, he was a great neighbor and I share in your grief in his loss. RIP Larry, you were a good man and left us too soon.
