Read MoreI began my 25+ year automotive career working for Larry at Key Lincoln Mercury. He was, and to this day, remains best dealer principal I have had the pleasure to work for. He cherished his employees. Many of today´s dealer principals should take a page from Larry´s book. Thank you Larry for all you did to advance my career and may you rest in peace!

With much love from the Fronckiewcz family.

Shocking to learn of your passing, Larry. Meeting you a few times each year when back from Florida, I'll miss. We go back a long time as Lincoln Mercury dealers and the stories we would retell each time we'd meet. God speed my friend may you rest in peace.

We met in the 3rd grade and went to Hebrew School and Cub Scouts together and Larry was an usher at my wedding. He was always the life of the party and the world will be a sadder place without his presence. BDE.

Larry was a valued advertiser at WICC and WEBE. His twinkling eyes and beautiful smile are just two of the many wonderful traits he had. May his memory be a blessing. Rest in eternal peace, Larry. You were a lot of fun.

Whenever I bumped into Larry at Wycliffe, he would greet me with "Banks for the memories", the Bob Hope signature melody. He was one of my most favorite people. I will miss him alot. Morris (Moe) Banks
