Dear Family Members,
I am so saddened to hear this news. He was a kind person who had the biggest heart and helped everyone. We worked together for years taking seniors to many places to get them out of their home with other folks. May you all treasure great memories shared with him. He will be missed but never forgotten!
Sincerely,
Karen Emmes

Dear Donna and Debbie, my deepest condolence for the loss of your Dad (and our Uncle Larry). Whenever I think of Uncle Larry kidding around with my gramp Guy and my dad Ray I can't stop smiling, I'd like to think their kidding around together once again.

I send my sincere and deepest condolences to the Caldarone Family.

I worked with Larry for almost 5 years at the ROTC Office and his never-ending smile, humor and his caring for others were traits I often mention to friends and family over the many years since I've left PC. Larry was one of the kindest and most helpful people I've ever met - always helping and looking out for people while doing it with a great sense of humanity sprinkled with a touch of humor.

God Speed, dear and precious Larry.........may you rest in Peace and Comfort you so deserve.

I worked with your dad when I was an ROTC student in 1970. Always pleasant and helpful. He even helped me get my initials on my number plate which I still have 41 years later.
