Larry was a good man! I remember when I went up to the office with my Dad for his interview and he told me to wait and Larry said no he’s coming too. He asked me if my Dad should work here and I said yes and he said well I suppose he should then. I proceeded to tell Larry I loved that shiny spread axle trailer outside and he asked me if my Dad should have that and I said I think he’d love it, Larry said well I suppose that’s his trailer then. I will never forget that day. Larry treated us as if we were Family. He will forever be truly missed!

Friday evening, Heaven acquired a great man.
Larry was more than a "boss" he was a father figure, a mentor and a friend.
He and I had a little conversation one day and said that he hoped that when he died that he made a difference.
Well, I can tell you all that he did indeed made a difference to all he touched!
The world is a lesser place now and may his memory be eternal.
