Dear friends and colleagues,
It is with a heavy heart when I heard of the news of the passing of my dear friend Larry Rotelli. I first met Larry in 1985 at the Tracy Savemart, and from that moment on, our friendship blossomed and grew over the years. Larry was not only one of the smartest people I knew, but he was also a true leader in every sense of the word.
Graduating from Sacramento State with a perfect 4.0 GPA, Larry's intelligence and work ethic were unmatched by anyone I had ever met. As we grew together in our respective positions and enjoyed many fun times, I came to admire Larry not only as a colleague but as a friend.
Larry's presence in the business world was truly remarkable, and his leadership skills were something to be admired. He will be greatly missed by myself and by the many people who had the privilege of knowing him. Larry's legacy will continue to inspire us all to strive for greatness in everything we do.
Larry may be gone, but his impact on our lives will never be forgotten.
With deepest sympathy,
Denny W.

Sincere condolences to you, Tracie, and all his loving family. Larry was part of my Save Mart family. A true professional that was very respected for his leadership, dedication, exemplary service, and regard for fellow employees at all levels in the company. I will fondly remember him. Rest in peace...you are missed.

Larry was definitely one of the best. Lots of fun and good laughs working for him at store 371. Always enjoyed when he would come into different stores that I worked at after he got promoted. No matter what position Larry held at Savemart, he never changed. Sending Prayers to all his family. RIP Larry

Larry took a chance on me and helped me transfer from San Jose to Lathrop. I will never forget how helpful and supportive he was to me. I worked with him a very short time but he made a lasting impression. My condolences to his family.

Larry was a very nice man. He always said hi to me when I went into the store or came up to the division office. I was shocked when I heard of his passing. He will definitely be missed.

On my 35th anniversary with Save Mart Supermarkets, Larry, a member of upper management, was the only one who called to congratulate me. This gesture made me feel special, and to this day, I still remember that phone call. Thank you, Larry.

Larry and I could always talk about the Giants no matter what was going on in my store at Save Mart Supermarkets. He always stop and we talk about the Giants of the 49ers. It was such a pleasant time. Rest in peace, Larry
