I worked many years at PPG with Larry. There was no better man whose word you could trust and his love for the Lord, Faye and his family was evident in almost every conversation he had with you. He was unapologetically genuine. Mel, Gary and the rest of the family...you have my deepest sympathies.

Our prayers and thoughts are with you at this time. I worked with Larry at ppg over the years . He was a good man and you could take his word to the bank. A sharing man as in the pies his wife made were enjoyed by all. Gary and Mel I think of you often and pray that all things going well in your life.

While my sisters and I were growing up, Larry was like a second Daddy to us. He and Faye were such a big part of our lives. We miss them both! We love you, Carla and Melanie. We're praying for you.
