He was such a ray of happiness here at the TES office, even after retirement. From his silly quirks to discussions about the Pelicans, all memorable moments. Larry and Linda will surely be missed and were loved by many.

Larry was my business partner for the last 23 years and more importantly a friend for much longer. Larry was the consummate professional who was dedicated to his work and family. Twenty four years ago he took a huge gamble to leave a stable job and join me at TES when we first started. Without Larry's help and support our company would undoubtedly not have been nearly as successful. Although he recently retired, he found time to continue to provide his guidance and insight to ease the pain of us loosing such a valuable asset to the company. A great engineer, a smart businessman, a loving husband, father and grandfather, a loyal friend.

I loved him like a brother and will miss him and Linda terribly. Linda was a wonderful sweet woman and Larry was always happiest when with her. Our prayer is that they both will rest in peace and that God will provide peace and support to the family during this difficult time.
