Uncle Larry was the coolest. Will never forget his smile....or the time he got Katie to eat the clams and she threw up! His spirit and joy for life were contagious. And his legacies will live on...through his beautiful family, and the business he built & the communities it serves. I have a feeling that in Heaven he joined up with Grandma & Grandpa (& our mom) for a happy hour and a good laugh at all of us. Sending all our love, prayers, & hugs from Minnesota.

I am sorry to see the notice for Larry today.
We were friends long ago in High School at Malden Catholic, played football together, and rode around in his ancient four- door convertible ...what good , crazy times we had together.

May he Rest In Peace.
