Didn't know Larry terribly well, but he was one of my sister's best friends, and he sold our parent's house for us. In a strange twist of fate, one of my best buds died the same day. Rest in peace, Larry.

I remember Larry always smiling with a genuine positive attitude about EVERYTHING. I worked with Larry at JBGoodwin for only a couple years, but in that time he taught me a lot about kindness. My condolences to Larry's family. How fortunate we all were to have known such an amazing human being.

Russ,
I was so saddened to hear of Larry's death. His warmth and gentleness will be missed, as well as his sharp progressive analysis of the current political scene. Our high school reunions just won't be the same.
Please stay in touch.

Larry was so sweet and caring, always asking how I was or how my daughter was doing. Always noticed if I had a new haircut or color. Miss him already.

Larry was a kind and gentle man, always willing to lend a hand. Larry had a way with words and was a wonderful story teller. Hard working, clever, and interesting, Larry set an example of independence, persistence, and customer service which will long be remembered and emulated.
To all who mourn, heartfelt sympathy and prayers for the peace that passes understanding.

Friends and family of Larry,
I worked with Larry for almost 20 years. He always made it a point to talk to me even when he was very busy. He always had something positive to say, was always so happy and just a real friend. He had a real gift when it came to working with people. I will always remember his sweet nature and how caring and thoughtful he was. He will me missed greatly. May God grant you peace in this time of sorrow.

The memories are too many to list, but if I had to name one, it was that he was genuinely a friend to all. My heart hurts for those surviving his passing. Larry, I am a better person because of you. You are missed.

I will miss Larry's soft voice and his laugh. I will miss how he could make you feel so special and so missed. Rest in peace, Mr. Rhett.
