Our deepest condolences to the entire family. Larry was one of the first people we met when we moved to the hill and it didn't take long to realize he was a hard working true American and a great neighbor. His wit was what I loved the most about him. Always poking fun of me for being a Yankee . He made us feel welcome in the neighborhood and we were truly sad when He and Karen moved. Whenever I eat Livermush I will think of you Larry. We were blessed to have met you Larry . Rest easy my friend.
