Larry and Margaret were like family to us. My parents loved your parents and we were always entertained by their stories about growing up in the 50s. After they retired to florida, we had several wonderful visits to the Villages when they live there and were entertained by their cooking and Larry's painting! He always had a dry sense of humor that made me smile. He's going to be greatly missed. We love you all!
