Stacie and family, you don't know me, my husband or our daughter, but Larry did. He was a very kind man and banker that always had a smile to give and a positive word to say. Over the many years seeing him in the bank we have all grown to know, respect and like him very much. We are sad that he is gone and send our sincere sympathy.
