My family will always remember Larry's friendship and in particular his support for my mom over the years. He was especially supportive when we lost my youngest brother several years ago. Larry could always light up a room, especially with his wit and wisdom. He will be greatly missed. Our sincere sympathies to Larry's entire family.
