To Larry's family and his very special dear friend, Karen Tolcz:

So sorry to hear of Larry's passing. He will be remembered for his crazy sense of humor and kindness to others. As a snow bird, he will be missed here in Orlando. He so enjoyed sitting by the pool getting that golden tan.

Were sorry we couldn't be with you at this difficult time. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers.

With deepest sympathy,
