I was a high school classmate of Larry's at LWHS. I remember his smiling face and wonderful personality. It is such a tragedy that his time here was not longer and I want to extend my sincere sympathy to Larry's family. May all your memories of his life and your faith sustain you through these difficult days.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you now and in the days ahead. Know that you have touched many lives, as well. I know that you know where your strength comes from. Thank the Lord for that strength in times like these.

Mirtha, Our deepest, heartfelt sympathy at the passing of Larry. I was shocked to see his name in the obit.
Larry, father Jim and I first met in '77 as we all worked at Divosta in Palm Beach Gardens. (I still have the pecky cypress gun cabinet that Jim and Larry made for me!) We shared more laughs than should be allowed, especially when pulling pranks on each other. On one of Larry's trips to Cow Creek in Ft. Pierce, someone had put his truck, (which he had left parked at the warehouse) up on blocks. He always blamed me for this. Now I can confess. And I still chuckle at what Larry must have looked like revving the engine and going nowhere as he tried to get home to you after another tough day in the woods.
Again, please accept our most sincere wishes that, though your loss is great, your sorrow will somehow be made bearable.
Dan Eagle, Palm Beach Gardens

Larry was a fine man and an excellent employee. I had the pleasure of working with him here in Florida for several months. Larry was always helpful, diligent, and thorough in his work ethic. He was above all dedicated to his family, intrigued with hunting and fishing, and proud to be an American. I felt honored to be associated with such a person. He will be missed by all of us.
