I am so very sorry to hear about the passing of Larry, I knew him from hammock Beach resort gym. Larry's trainer is a very dear friend of mine and I would see him often working with his trainer. Steve. He was always very kind, upbeat and funny, he always made me laugh. He had an amazing sense of humor! My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends and I know he will be dearly missed by many! Rest in peace, Larry

Larry/Cousin/Godfather....R.I.P....
My Condolences to the immediate family...
Larry "Thanks" for closing on The New Millford house for me....
You were alway like "The Mythological Cousin"....
You went to College..."And Actually Graduated"...
When you got out of the car at the closing.....
And stood up...??...
My first thought was..."Roman Gladiator"....
And Yeah..."All Us Cousins Had Names"....
But when you heard "Larry"...???....
"That Was Something Special Indeed"....
My Mom..."And Maybe All The Aunts"...??...
Used To "Nod Their Heads Yes"...
When they said the name..."Larry"..........
R.I.P. ........Robert.....
