Not sure what to say?

For the past several years Larry came to Montana and served as a Board of Public Accountant's reviewer of financial statements for a program called The Profession Monitoring Program. During those years a number of us had dinner together and traded CPA battle stories. He had a very pleasant demeanor and worked very well in a group situation. I do recall discussing McDonald franchise stories with him. Very sorry for the loss to the profession but more importantly the loss to the family.

Dear Venne Family, I was saddened to hear of Larry's passing. He helped Rich and I with 13 years of advice and accounting with his knowledge of the McDonald's business. He will be missed.

Rosemary and Laura, Iam so sorry to hear of Larry's passing. I have many fond memories at the Venne household and always laughing our way to Mrs.Foley's. You all our in my thoughts and prayers.

Rosemary and family, I am very saddened to hear of Larry's passing. His sense of humor will be greatly missed. My thoughts are with you. May he forever shoot no worse than par!

Dear Rosemary and family, I was so saddened and shocked to hear Larry had left us. My condolences go out to you. I met Larry while doing bookkeeping for Jackie's firm and soon was working with Larry at his various locations, meeting a lot of new clients and friends and also working with Rosemary occasionally. As an earlier struggling single mom, I remain ever grateful to Larry for all the referred business and friendships Larry brought into my life.

Rosemary & Laura,
We are so sorry to hear about Larry. We just saw him last month and now we are so glad we made the trip to Portland. Brian and I are both so thankful to Larry for giving us our first jobs at McDonald's which has lead to 26 years of marriage. We both think that if it hadn't been for Larry we wouldn't be married. Larry holds such great memories and we both miss him.

Larry shook his head and wondered why Jackie (his sister) handed him our shaky account as one of his first as a CPA...but we suprised him and thrived, and we've worked together ever since.
Larry was wonderfully generous with his knowledge, and I learned much of what I know of manufacturing accounting from him.
And golf! I can thank Larry for reintroducing me to the game and for many pleasant outings together. How he could hit the ball so well with a backswing like that I never could...

We have worked with Larry professionally for so many years that we can't recall the exact number. His willingness to help was much appreciated. We will miss him.

Rosemary/Laura: so sorry to hear about your loss of such a dear man...we are thinking of you. Lindsay and Dara(Pfister)
