Not sure what to say?

Larry was a personal friend and golf buddy, It gives me personal pleasure to know that he is in heaven and is the head pro.

Prayers for Larry´s family Sorry for your loss! Sherry Charkowske

I am so sorry to hear of Larry's passing. I was a customer of Larry's for a lot of years. He would pop in and give me the rundown on business. He was such a nice man!! My condolences.

To the Family of Larry, we are so sorry to read of his passing. What a great person on the golf course and whenever you would run into him!! Our Family got to know him when he was Pro at Lake Doster Golf Club. He taught our three boys how to play and when you would come in he always took the time to ask how you hit them. We always considered Larry a Friend on and off the course. He will be remembered by many!

Worked a few years for Larry at Milham Park GC and Lake Doster GC. He was the absolute best boss, mentor and friend. Learned a lot from him just watching how he treated people. In memory of a wonderful person. We will miss Larry.

Enjoyed our many days in the 80's pacing the sidelines watching our daughters play soccer at Plainwell High School. A wonderful person.

Larry was a great friend and mentor when he was the assistant pro at the Kalamazoo country club, always was nice to visit with him, a truly great man ! RIP Larry.

So sorry to hear of Larry´s passing. I fondly remember Larry at Milham where he organized many leagues and tournaments for all abilities of golfers. He organized the Milham Scratch League which became a big hit for many years. He always generously gave his time teaching and advice to those who asked for it. A true gentleman and gokf professional.

I fondly remember Larry at the Milham Golf Course. When my grandfather John Idol, would come visit us from New York, we would play golf. He would talk to Larry in Polish. Thanks for the great memories. RIP Tom Simon
