What a trail blazer. While I never met Lawrence I do know his son Mike and after reading about Lawrence I now know where Mike's drive to excel comes from along with his willingness to help others. I am truly sorry for your loss.

Sincere condolences from the Kowal and Moore families Nona and family. We are very sad to learn that Larry has left us but remember him as a wonderful family man, who took pride in his wife and children, was a fantastic host at his New Years' Eve Parties for many years, and always had a smile when he saw you. R.I.P. Larry...you were one of the best. Marie Kowal & Blll Moore & families.

Mike, our condolences for your loss. I recall one of the first meetings with father at your home some 43 years. He was very gracious when I accidently put my foot through a door. Take comfort in fond memories.

A loving & caring man, a big smile and a bigger heart. An inspiration to myself and many others. He always had a few thoughtful words of guidance because he cared. I and my family will miss him.
