David & family,

So sad to read of Larry's passing. He was the best of the best of the SJHS class of '69. He was so talented, funny and fun and will be forever young for those of us who knew him then. Wishing you the power of good memories to see you through.

passion for life, making people feel upbeat and good about themselves and his unrelenting smile and kindness is what I will remember most about my friend. Love you always Larbo.......BoBo
