There isn´t enough space to express our feelings for Larry, Shirley and their family. Larry was a bigger than life guy. With that huge grin and bear hugs he lit up a room. Larry had integrity, honesty and honor. He was a shrewd business man and loving husband and father....big shoes to fill and he did it.

Larry was a good friend and we played tennis together.
He was always happy and you could always count on him to help if needed. I am sorry we were out of town and missed the Memorial services. Our heart and prayers are with you Shirley and family.

I first met Larry in 1975 when he came to the dealership in Twin Falls as the light truck manager for Ford out of the Salt Lake District office. That started a life time friendship and respect of our abilities to sell Fords. As a dealer Larry brought a sense of family to all departments, vocal and proud of each persons successes. Larry touched a lot of lives thru church, community, tennis, auto business and much more. We send condolences and love to Shirley, Kristen, Holly, Patrick and their families. The memories will always be there.

My condolences to his family. Larry was a solid human, employer and family man. Many of his attributes will live on in the people he mentored and influenced over the years. I always was impressed with Larry and his family as one of the self made success stories in life.

A first-class person and businessman. He was known as a stand-up guy and a great person. An asset to the community in so many ways. Good tennis player as well!

I met Larry when my Mom and Dad came to visit me and my family in Boise, ID. Larry was my Dad's good friend for many years. They were golfing buddies in Arizona. I remember shaking his hand when I met him and he had such a big smile on his face. Very welcoming. He told me if there was anything I needed just give him a call. He had a huge heart. I know my Dad will miss him and his laughter. My condolences to the family and sending big hugs. I lost my Mom last December and talking about the memories of her helps the grieving process.
