Larry was a great man to work with. I had the pleasure of working with him at Crane Agency for quite some years. He always joked about the fact that when others were coming in to work that he had already been in, done his job and was leaving so he could go play golf. He always talked highly of his family and how great they were. I wish for the family to have as much peace in their hearts as Larry now has. Always keep the memories of Larry in your heart and minds and then he will live forever. So Larry, see ya later in the next life..and then maybe you can teach me how to play golf...
