Larry was a
Neighbor and friend
During my kids formative years. We all remember him as a smiling, fun/loving guy who you always felt good having your kids around. He was also such a devoted husband to Sue. We all admired that quality.

I´m very sorry to hear of Larry´s passing. I´m from Texas and came to know Larry from his work with John Deere Harvest Support. I always enjoyed our visits. I could tell he was a great man.
