My condolences to the family and friends of Larry. We grew up in the same neighborhood, attended Carman, and I socialized with him at times. He had a good sense of humor and very caring parents. I enjoyed the visits when his mother would cook up some of that fried chicken and biscuits and gravy. I lost touch with Larry but have fond memories of him and his family.

Words can’t express the sadness, hearing of Larry and Crystals passing. They were the most welcoming to me at the Michigan Renaissance festival, I always looked forward to visiting with them. I’ll forever treasure the many trinkets I bought that Crystal made. Fest wasn’t the same after they retired. I always admired the love they had for each other. Rest In Peace my friends, prayers to the family and many friends.

Larry and Crystal were very dear friends to me. They were both such loving, caring, open and generous people. With such big hearts for everyone. Larry was a mentor to me and was my inspiration to become a Mason. He was my Brother Mason. I shall miss them both immensely. Rest in peace my dear friends. And may God keep you in his loving arms.
