Larry was a life long friend and a good one, too! I'll miss pulling into his driveway as he worked in the yard or garage and being greeted by his big smile. He was always happy to see an old friend. Another thing I'll miss about Larry is his grilled bbq pork chops! Amazing! Goodbye old friend! Much love for you and your family!

Thanks for all the GREAT memories, Larry (and Kay)! You treated me like a daughter, especially on those family outings we took with you! Thanks for opening up your home and life, but most of all for letting me be a part of the "every day" activities that took place there. You will never be forgotten.
Love, Lysa
PS---I would still debate you on whether or not chlorine made my hair tangly and/or my eyes red. ;o)
