To Bert,Larry Jr.(Lea Ann),William(Elizabeth), Desna(joseph)andDeborah,
We love you all so very much!Larry will always be so special to us. Our hearts are broken at his passing. I called him "The Mayor", no matter where he went he always seemed to know everyone.He made everyone feel so special. When we stopped to speak he always made you feel like you were the only person in the world. When he smiled he reflected God's love.
We hurt for all for all of you
If we can...

My sympathy to the Kellum family. I worked with Larry many years ago at Chambers Works. He was always so upbeat and such a pleasure to work with. He always spoke so loving of his family. RIP old friend...

I knew Larry as a customer of Glassboro Shoprite, where I work. I would see him frequently each week and before I asked his name, I just called him the Boss (which was written on his hat).
We soon started chatting and I found out that Larry seemed to have a light, which would oftentimes brighten my day at work. Over the last years we shared some hugs when I would see him and some tables together during my breaks in our Café and one time, he sang Amazing Grace for me. He wanted me to...

I knew Larry from many years ago. From attending the church where he did and playing tennis with the gentleman. One always enjoyed themselves whenever in the company of Larry. He treasured and enjoyed life and also those around him and especially his family. A true treasure to anyone who knew him. I feel for his family and those friends who will miss one of a kind individual.

Sincerely,
George Bockman

Our world needs more like Larry. Always looking on the positive side. Always reaching out and making new friends. He will be terribly missed in my personal life and in our church family. With Larry gone, who will tell me, You need to go back to racquetball Dan! You are looking a little bigger around the middle!

Only a week before he passed I asked him for any life lessons and he told me one important lesson he learned is: never ask the woman if she is pregnant! He followed up...

Larry was a wonderful person. He shared his faith in song with his beautiful voice and the wisdom of his years in friendly conversation with his unmistakable charm.

Easy going childhood friend, always had a smile and a good word. His many friends are a legacy to a great human being. Memories sustain us, he will live on in our lives.
Our prayers go out to his family.

What a wonderful man!! He stopped at our home on West Howard Street a few times after we saw him at the Minetti Center in Mickleton. His brother lives across the street from us. He was always a happy go lucky man and we are truly saddened to see of his passing. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Bertha and all of his family. He surely made a difference in so many lives with his great personality!! Fondly, Lloyd and Kay (McMahon) Tanner

I am so sorry to hear of your loss! Larry was a bright light in our neighborhood. He was quick with a smile and kind word. He will surely be missed!
