We were very sad when we heard about the passing of Brandon's Grandpa. After reading his Obituary and knowing how Kristy felt about him, we know he was a very compassionate, caring gentleman who loved helping others. We are hoping your wonderful memories will help you through this difficult time. We are sending our deepest sympathy to the whole family. Thinking of you at this time! Sincerely, Donna, Rodger, Michele, Joe, Heather and Ray (Kristy's family)

As we go through life we meet many people. Some become friends. A few become good friends. The very few become great friends. Larry was a great friend. I will miss him. He was a special man.

Larry was a great guy, like a second father figure to me. He and Shelley did so much for my family and I over the years. Always there to celebrate life’s milestones and the holidays. When he was proud of you, he’d let you know it. He will be greatly missed and I’m so grateful to have had him in my life. Warmest thoughts and prayers with Shelley, all his girls and extended family.
With love,
