So glad we got to see Larry & chat with him for awhile at the Chalet before they closed. I got one last hug. I went to school & graduated with him. When we would run into him & catch up, he always had a keen sense of humor.
Our condolences to the family,
Tom & Gerri (Stemrich) Herron

The few times that Franz and I met and chatted with Larry in Mountain Top, felt like we had known him forever. This special friend touched our lives, like so many. I am especially grateful for the way Larry touched Colin´s life and welcomed him into his family. We will miss Larry´s welcoming warmth, humor, and caring when we visited Colin. May God hold Larry in His loving arms and bring comfort, strength and peace for family and friends.

Gone too soon. I’ll remember a fun loving, humorous guy from a wonderful family. Fighting brush fires together, gym class, his service to the community. A proud Sea Bee and very proud grandfather. My memories will include lots of smiles. Larry, you were swell. Prayers for you and your family. Happy trails.

I'm so sorry for the loss of Uncle Larry . He was such a great man and friend. I was so happy that I
could make him happy with his adoption of Snoopy. He loved him so. Unfortunately we will not be able to attend because we will be in Pittsburgh. We will be there in spirit. I will say a prayer. He was such a special friend.
