Larry, you will be missed by all your Family and Friends. You were a "stand up" Cousin. Your Cousins all loved you and enjoyed being with you as we all grew up. My dad, your Uncle Harrison, loved sending you the pigs tails and was estatic when you opened your package. May God protect you and keep you till we all join you.
Love,
Linda Rumsey

Larry had a lot going for him. He was very mild mannered, very patient and very much a true man. Joan and I had a lot of respect for him. We know he will find his place very easily with God.

Larry was a great friend for more than 40 years. He sold me my first Porsche in Columbus, Ohio in 1970. He came to Florida in 1972 and worked with me at the Porsche+Audi store. We had many laughs together and I will always remember his hearty laugh and perpetual smile. Our sincere prayers to his family. Larry, we will always remember you.

I'VE KNOWN LARRY SINCE THE FIRST DAY I STARTED AT PALM BEACH MOTORCARS IN 1989. HE WAS PLEASURE TO WORK WITH. SINCE BOTH OF US ARE FROM OHIO, WE OFTEN TALKED ABOUT THE CLEVELAND BROWNS AND WANTING THEM TO WIN BUT THAT ONLY CAME A FEW TIMES. WE ALSO TALKED ABOUT OUR GERMAN SHEPHERDS, HE LOVED HIS DOGS. LARRY WAS A GOOD FRIEND. MY PRAYERS GO OUT TO HIM AND HIS FAMILY. THANKS FOR ALL THE TALKS. MAY GOD BLESS YOU. JOY BARONI
