Remembering your great love story today and always.

My brother-in-law, Larry, was the most unselfish person I know. He was always going out of his way to help others, leaving his own projects waiting till another day.
He was a great uncle and blessing to my children as they were growing up. Spending quality time with them and never seemed to mind it. He was really a great influence in their lives.
We have so many happy memories to remember, cherish and reminisce about.
I will truly miss you my most favorite brother-in-law.
Your favorite sister-in-law, Joanie
