Not sure what to say?

Larry was a great friend he will be missed by many firemen and friends RIP my friend

So sorry. Another cousin taken too early!

Afternt seeing me for over 30 years he gave me a big hug. He then said let's not wait 30 more.

My condolences to Nicole, Karen, Wendy and Jeanette... words can't express what I feel right now

Larry was my 1st cousin on the Hall side of the family. He will be missed and my love, hugs and prayers go out to his Daughter and his sister Karen love you

Karen, Wendy and Jeanette and families, my deepest sympathies on the loss of your believed Larry. He is now reunited with his beloved wife Noreen, Colby, and parents. He has become an Angel to watch over you.

I have known Larry since the old CB days of the 70's. His handle was "Superstar" and Noreen was "Desert Flower". He always was talking to my Mom and Dad who went by the handles "Bottlecap and Beer Bottle". Later when I became an EMT and joined Copenhagen Fire I re-met Larry either at fires or Firematic meetings. He was a great person and never stopped caring about his fellow firefighters or the Fire Service in general. He will be missed,

Will miss you during the winter months in Barefoot Bay. RIP Larry.

Our deepest condolences to the Hall family. Larry will be missed. He was a coworker at NYSDOT and my neighbor in Aldrich. He was a leader in the Aldrich fish and game club. I also knew him well in the volunteer fire service. He was a true example of leadership in every aspect of life. His enthusiasm for “believe NNY “ extended beyond the fire service. Now he’ll have the best seat for the next NASCAR race. I will miss you my friend.
