When Larry was a buyer for Munck Automation, I worked for one of his parts suppliers. Larry always was positive and a pleasure to work with. He was a good man. I'm sorry for your loss.

I'm so sorry to hear of Larry's passing. I attended Deer Park Baptist Church with Larry and Betty for many years. They were active participants and always were involved with many things at church to include vacation bible school. I actually remember him playing softball years ago. What fun we had! They were a wonderful, dedicated couple whom I had always looked up to.
