I worked with Larry at Tokheim. He was a great guy we had some good times at work and at the Angle Inn. I will miss him. My sympathy too his family.

I'm so sorry for your loss, guys. My favorite memory may be when Cindy and I were struggling to open a trash bag and he was sitting in his chair reading the paper. Cindy said under her breath as we were frustrated and laughing at ourselves "We can't figure out which end is the top!" Without hesitation or even looking up Larry said "why don't you find the bottom and turn it around?" I literally think of him every time I open a trash bag :) Love you all!
