Grandpa Larry, we love you and miss you. Know that you're always in our thoughts, our prayers and our hearts. You were a strong man the beginning of this life all the way to the end and we all admire you for that. Thank you for the smiles, the laughs, the humor that never died down.. For everything. I'm not sure where the road takes us after this life, but I know it's better than any of us could ever imagine. If anyone deserves to be there, it's you. Put in a good word Carpy! You'll never be forgotten. xoxo
