Larry was like a second dad to me. I always had to hear stories about when I was a kid and when he come home and I would run and hide under the kitchen table. I do not believe I was really scared but Larry you were a tall man! You definitely will be missed. You had a huge amazing light to you. You were a huge Jets fan and let´s hope Aaron Rodgers can make it our year! My thoughts and prayers go out to Judy, Jenna and Amanda! I am deeply saddened by your loss. But he will be forever cherished

Larry, Judy, Jenna & Amanda and family have been "Framily" to us for over 35 years. We have shared so many milestones and adventures together. From living across the street in Pomona, to traveling to Tahoe, Mexico, Vermont, Hawaii and our home on the Great Sacandaga. Larry has always been the person in the room who would make you smile and tell a great story. He has been loved by so many and will be missed. Our heartfelt condolences are with you all. We will miss Larry but will continue to hold him in our hearts and May his memory be a blessing.

I met Larry through Judy. Judy and I worked at Avon and became fast friends. We started going out as couples, and Dave and I became friends with Larry as well. Larry was a fun loving, full-of-life guy who always wore a smile. It was obvious that he loved Judy very much and was a loving father and grandpa! Both our families shared the same wedding anniversary and celebrated by eating out every year! We will definitely miss our yearly celebration, but he will always be remembered on June 28. Larry, we love you and you will be greatly missed!
Love, Mary and Dave Conklin

My most fondest memory was being with Larry at age 5 years old. I lived two doors away from his house in Spring Valley. We always played together, like brother and sister.
We were at Larry´s house and his father brought home a box of imported chocolates and we ate the whole box underneath the dining room table. The table was covered with a lace tablecloth that hung all way to the floor. Aunt Alice lifted the tablecloth and found us covered in chocolate.
Did we get into a whole bunch of trouble. We had a lot of good times growing up.
I´ll miss him even though we weren´t that close in later years.
Our deepest sympathy to his family.

I remember I was at my brother´s house for his birthday party with my husband and 2 year old son. It was December 2022. Of course, toddlers like to run around and fall very easily. There was no safety gate to block the stairs so I had a little anxiety and it was seen on my face. Without saying a word, Larry walked over to his home, came back to Francky´s house and returned with a safety gate. He immediately installed it at the top of the stairs so my son would be safe upstairs. It was one of the most thoughtful, kind, and caring actions someone had ever done for my little boy. Larry was a great man, father and grandfather. He will be missed greatly. Sending all of our love and prayers to the Bettello Family.

A big personality with lots of love. I met him at Platt family reunions in West Almond and always looked forward to seeing him and Judy, Jenna, Amanda and Francky. He´s the kind of guy that makes you feel like family right away. A wonderful human with a special family. I know you will be missed by many. Lorna
