My condolences to the family. After getting to know Larry while I worked with him and the crew at Arctic Chain Plumbing and Heating. I enjoyed my time there and getting to know him and Jeff. I know my life has been enriched since knowing him. I know he will be missed but his love and memory will last a life time.
