Larry - I hope you are enjoying riding and you can look down on all of us and know that your sweet smile and calm voice is missed. It seems as though there are 3 different vaccines for the coronavirus so maybe things might go back to being normal again. We shall see - until next time take care!!

Not a year goes by that you are not thought of. Lots has happened since your passing. My father passed away in 2017, we are dealing with the Coronavirus and no one knows what going to happen as it is spreading so fast. I am sure you are riding around carefree without a worry. The way you should be. Take care my friend - you are missed!!!

Miss Amanda Faye,
It was such a heart break when I came across the news about Larry. You were one of my very first best friends and we have so many memories growing up at your dad's house. Your family always treated me as one of their own. I am sad to say that we grew up and grew apart but you will always have a place in my heart. I love you and I send my condolences from my family to yours. Eboni Rae Groff (Jenkins)

Ah, larry......my eyes are leaking and how I am missing your hug right now. I used to ask you in the the midst of one of our big old friend bear hugs, "do I have to let you go?" And you would say, "eventually!" Ah but larry, I had no idea how soon.....

I am among those who were so fortunate to have met Larry. Absolutely the sweetest, GENUINELY nice person I've ever met at work. We worked in completely different departments but I would buy sugar-free things and leave them on his desk because I really appreciated that above anyone else, he was ALWAYS so genuinely nice. We all have our nice moments but to find 100% genuinely nice people is so rare! I feel very lucky to have met him. I really wish there were more Larry's in the world. I'm glad he was one of them!

I worked with Larry at VSP for many years. He was such a great person. One of his most endearing qualities was that he was such a great father to Amanda. He was so proud of her and there was no doubt that she was the most important person in his life. RIP dear Larry. You will remain a wonderful memory to so many people.
