I am so sad to see this obituary. I was very good friends with Larry in High School. My girlfriends & I would invite him out with us, miniature golfing, Fairfield beach, just hanging around my parents house. I have some pictures he sent me when he was in the military, goofing around with his buddies - if anyone in his family would like them you can e-mail me at [email protected]. I am so sorry for your loss. - Lorraine Denaro

We are neighbors of Mr. Wilson and met talking about dogs as he was walking his beloved pet. A friendly gem who knew everything about the neighborhood and the city. He was a wealth of information who was always smiling and happy. Just the other day I thought I haven't seen him in a while not knowing he met God face to face. Our condolences to the family. If there is anything you need we're a few houses away.
