My family and I were very saddened to learn of Larry's passing. We have many fond memories of him fishing at the lake and attending association functions at his home. You and yours remain in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Janet. Bob and I are just heart sick about Larry. He was a wonderful man and we had lots of fun with him when we had breakfast and he and Jeff came to the house for dinner. When we moved things were so hectic we lost touch with some of those closest.. That's why noone or nothing should let that happen. Again, so terribly sorry for your loss. Joanne and Bob Cubitt

My sympathy on Larry's passing. I remember him well, and have many memories of his work on behalf of Swartswood Lake. I worked at Hendershot's Point camping/.boat launch for more than 15 years, and remember our many conversations, his love for the lake, fishing contests, and his stocking the lake every year on behalf of Paradise Fishing Club which gave so many fishermen and their families many hours of enjoyment. We will all remember him well.
