A wonderful man and a dear friend, Larry will always hold a special place in my heart. He interviewed me when I applied for a job at the Lutgert Companies in Naples, Florida in 2004. After I was hired, we worked together at the development office for Estuary at Grey Oaks. He was a great mentor and a person known for his ebullient demeanor. If you needed some encouragement, a kind word, or just a hug, Larry was your go-to guy! We also worked together on his unsuccessful run for a position on the Collier County School Board. It was a disappointing loss, for so many reasons, but Larry kept his head held high and moved onward. Now, he has moved upward!
Dear Lisa, Mike, Fran, Jesse and Emmet, we send loving thoughts to you and want you to know that Larry's love will shine on through all of those whose lives he touched. Jim and I are so lucky to be among them.
