I have been a client of Larry's for two decades. He was always available to help me in any situation with great insight and consideration. Even though he had hundreds of clients, he always made me feel as though I was the only and most important one. What a great man.
I will continue to pray for his family and Peggy.

To The Foss Family,
My heart is sad for you all, a tremendous loss of a VERY strong and courageous man.... The legacy he left behind is proof of his dedication to his family. Let the laughter and memories help you through the heartache, hold onto his steadfast belief that being ornery was his calling in life ;) I've had many laughs thanks to his stubbornness and I've got some wonderful friends from him.....cheers to life without pain, the endless smell of burning rubber and fast cars! All my love and strength to the family on the loss of a good man, RIP Larry.
