Dear Barbara and family - I was so sorry to hear about Lauren - I never called him Larry, he was always Lauren to me. We worked together for so many years. We would speak from time to time over the years and he would tell me the latest news and how proud he was of all of you how much joy you all gave him. He always was a gentleman with a big heart. He is one of the people who came into my life that I had a great deal of respect for and a special place in my heart. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Barbara and family,
My crew and I extend condolences to you and your family during this very difficult time. We were truly saddened to hear the news today. Larry was a very kind man and we enjoyed the opportunity to work for him. He always treated the men with respect, something they appreciated very much. We will remember Larry as quick with a smile and generous with a compliment. We will miss him.
