Larry was a great guy who cared about his family and community and was an unpretentious Genius. It was my pleasure to know Larry as he directed the consolidation of many Binghamton broadcasting stations. His expertise was astounding to watch as we worked and chatted about family, church, baseball, engineering and the rest. His talents and dedication went way beyond words. Condolences to Larry's family. We've all lost a great person.

So very sorry to hear of the passing of your loved one. Have so many beautiful memories of the times when Debbie was playing softball for SV and the Conklin Raiders travel team. We had so many laughs and good times. Have always missed those days so much. God Bless Larry's soul (he was one very special person), and God Bless those he leaves behind.

So sorry for your loss. Larry was such a nice person always willing to help out. From the days at the Conklin ball fields to helping our family during the floods and building new garages. He will truly be missed.

I am so sorry to hear this news. Larry was fun to work with and I loved his loud obnoxious laughter. He was a good guy!
