Chris and I are very sorry to hear of Larry's death. We knew Larry and Mary quite well as we both worked at Children's over the years. Larry was always a joy to visit with and quite the gentleman. We are glad to have known them both and extend our sincere sympathy to the family and friends he left behind.

Dear Willegal Family,
So sorry to learn of Larry's passing. Have lost touch with Larry over the years but will always remember how wonderful and helpful both he and Mary were as volunteers at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin. I will always be proud to have known them
May they rest in peace, Debbie Schroeder
