Larry and I spent many nights bowling in the Firemen's League. I'll miss joking around with him, and I'll always remember his smile and laugh. It takes a special person like Larry to be able to devote so much of his life to serving the community and especially to be a volunteer fireman. You will be missed.

Have many fond memories of Larry when he would stop by the Drome on many of his road trips while driving truck and the times when he was working with us on Friday and Saturday nights.
Rest In Peace my friend

My last visit with Larry was during his most recent stay at Cayuga Medical Center at Ithaca. In spite of his pain he was positive and kept his sense of humor. I'll always remember the times spent at the Bowl-O-Drome and at the Eagles. He will be missed by many.

I am so sorry to hear about Larry's passing. The last time I saw him, he came to my Dad's funeral. Gave me a big hug and comfort, and he was just a great guy. May Larry rest in peace and he will now be up in heaven with my DAD.
