I am so sad to hear of Larry's passing. We worked together as ushers at the ballpark, later as one of his supervisors, and crossed paths either as a fan, or at a gathering of ushers years later. He always had a smile, kind words, and was just a nice guy. Prayers with you during this difficult time.

Proud to have served with you at the ballpark for the past 4 1/2 seasons. Was always a pleasure ushering with you, a fellow "practitioner of the craft". Rest in peace.

Eleanor and Family, Larry was such a fine gentleman, always great conversations with him at the ballpark. He was so proud of his family and spoke often of his wife, children and grandchildren. I will miss that grin and his story telling. My deepest sympathy to all of you.
