"Luck Larry" we will miss you terribly. We think about you everyday and look for you everyday in your chair outside. I miss that sweet goofy grin of yours and your quick wit. We all shared so many good times together and I am thankful for the beautiful memories we have. You were a Class "A" Gentleman to my Mom and I love you for the way you treated her and all of us. The pain and sorrow of losing you will lessen over time but will never fade away. We miss you and love you very much!
