He was one of my surfing buddies. We shared a lot of fun times together at the beach as well around the neighborhood. I will always remember that Renault he had and when we use to go surfing one of us would have to get out and walk up that hill from I-5 to Claremont Drive because it didnt have quite the power. I knew he wanted to be a fireman, I went down and took the test to give him the support he asked for. Thanks Larry for all that you did.

Larry was one of the sweetest men I met. Every time I saw him at church he light it up with his wonderful warm and friendly smile. His since of humor was outstanding. I will miss him dearly. He showed us that even thought adversity you can still have something to smile about. Thank you for being a wonderful example for me. Love you dearly Larry.

Larry when we grew up as young children we had the world to ourselves. Like all kids we had our differences, but learned to live with it. I am glad I had the chance to talk with you recently and remembered our past and talked about our future. In the Autumn of our lifes we see the ones we love are now being taken from this Earth and enjoying the after life that was promised to us. JoAnn and William Shipley

Mrs.Gretler, Mary Ann and Cathy: What a great guy Larry was to all of us that had the fortune to know him. I have such fond memories of us growing up together, playing baseball and hanging out together. Needless to say, we did a few things to get in trouble, but Larry's smile and sense of humor always made things better. He will always be remembered for being a wonderful person and a friend.....

Larry was a chip of the old block. He was Max's son in all respects..sweet, gentle, funny, great sense of humor.
I never knew a person who didn't like Larry because he was the most likable person you could imagine. Larry is in heaven today and we will all miss him.
My regards to Janet and the family.
Love,
