Our condolences to the Hoover family.
We are very shocked and saddened to hear of the passing of Larry. My husband has known him for many many years as his mechanic. Lots and Lots of fond memories of Larry even helping him with his paper route. We are very saddened to have missed his calling hours with finding out of his passing shortly after.
Such a great guy and who would do anything for anyone! You will be truly missed Larry!!!

Condolences to the Hoover family. Now a small world story. My oldest son and I each delivered Bill and Pat's paper as kids and Larry ended up being my paperboy. Mother Pat was a member at my former church St. Paul's United Methodist Church, great lady. The world needs more Larry's.
