We both had the opportunity to work with Larry at Okuma 18 years ago... He was always smiling and brought so much laughter and happiness to those around him. He will always be remembered. Our deepest sympathy to the Hanzo Family.

One of my highlights working at Warner & Swasey was meeting Larry and working with him during IMTS. At the end of each show day, you could always be guaranteed of him taking the group to a fine Chicago restaurant with good wine. Any conversation with Larry always resulted in a laugh about something. His infectious laughter will be missed.
My deepest sympathy to Larry's family during this difficult time.

My deepest condolences go out to Barbara and the family at this sad time. Larry always had a smile that spread to others he touched. He was always willing to share his knowledge of the business with the younger "kids" coming on board.
In Peace.

My time at Okuma was made more interesting and fun by having the opportunity to work for Larry. He had a great laugh, could hang with us younger guys and he came-up with some great nicknames! Of course he taught us about wine too. They broke the mold after Larry was born. He was a gift to us all. God bless the Hanzo family.

I first got to know Larry during the W&S apprenticeship. We studied for the crazy Economics 101 course together during Fenn College. Larry certainly kept the shop busy with Cat orders during his "Lawrence of Peoria" days. Larry always kept us laughing during his visits back to Cleveland. We're so very sorry for his untimely passing.
