My condolences to Larry's family. I worked for Larry for about ten years at Datapoint and I must say that in my fifty or so years of work I never encountered a more understanding leader. I call him a leader because he was not the typical BOSS.

Dear Gretchen,I didn't know your Dad, but the things I like about you I'm sure were gifts your Dad gave you. He was blessed with a wonderful life and a strong family and now is up and on his way to Touch the Face of God. No more pain or suffering. While a light has gone out on this earth, what joy there must be in Heaven as your Dad and Mom are reunited in Paradise. I pray the Lord Jesus wraps His Arms around you and Wade and Ava and your entire framily and Holds you close to His Heart in the days and nights ahead. Know you are in my thoughts and prayers. You will forever be Daddys Little Girl and he will never be a memory but a constant presence in your life.

Our sincere love goes out to Larry's family as friends for over 32 years we know and understand the loss of such a great and caring man he was to family first and to his friends. Larry was a giant of an individual with a gallon sized heart. He loved life as he loved his family. As we learn how to accept the fact he is no longer with us physically, he will remain in our hearts as we remember his smile. We loved Larry and we are missing him.
Conne and Richard Manning.
