My heart goes out to Sandy, Terri and Cyndi and the rest of the family. Larry was such a great, gentle and kind man and always made me feel welcomed. May he rest in peace in the arms of the Lord.

I am so sorry to hear of Larry's passing. I worked with Larry a couple of years ago, and found him to be a kind and gentle man. May he rest in peace, free from the pain that he so bravely endured.
