Larry was a good neighbor and friend. I will miss his visits and wisdom a lot. We loved Larry in life, let us not forget him in his passing. Peace and love to the Kantro family, friends and relatives.

Hi Gayle. Your news traveled across country to me. Even separated by many miles and many years I want you to know how sorry I am for the loss of your husband. I will think of you and your family in the days ahead and will wish you peace in the midst of this sadness.
