I worked with Larry for 3 years at autozone and often spoke with him frequently after I had quit. During the short period of time I knew Larry he made a very profound imprint on mylife. He was joy to work with,He was a good friend, a hard worker and a great listener. Wasn't to shabby of a Santa Claus either

Dear Mrs. Pruchenski,
I read about your loss in the newspaper and just want you to know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your children. I never took the time to look you up and tell you how much influence you had on my life as a teacher way back in the 1960s and want you to know that I taught for 28 years alot because of your love and sincerity as a teacher shown to me. I know that just because you chose him to be your mate he had to be a wonderful man.
I read that "sometimes God plucks the rarest flowers from this earth for His Heavenly bouquet". I am sure your Larry was just such a man. Once again, I am sorry for your loss and give you my love and prayers at this time and thank you for your example.
