Uncle Larry you will be missed.. I started missing you after you had your stroke. I knew you were able to communicate but my heart broke to see such a strong man have to be confined to a chair. You have always been the rock and provider for your family. You always set such a high standards and had a strong work ethic for everyone to follow. You did a wonderful job raising your girls. I have nothing but good/funny memories of you and my childhood. I LOVE YOU - Merri

Although I never met Larry, I am friends with his daughter Teresa. I know he must have been a wonderful man because he raised an amazing daughter. Teresa, my thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family during this very difficult time.

I met Larry once after his stroke, and he also struck me as such a basically "nice guy". I prayed for his recovery as my husband is on a similar path of recovery. I'm glad you had a few more years to enjoy with him. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you on this journey from sadness to wonderful memories and life with your dear father and husband.

Dad,
You took after your dad... Never met a person you couldn't strike up a conversation with. If I had a dollar (inflation you know) for every time somebody would tell me, "I like your dad, he is such a nice man" (some even said you were handsome, i thought so too). I never thought I would miss the times, but i sure do, when you would say " hey, let me ask you a question" or "I have a question for you" (usually was in trouble for something). You always worked so hard to provide for us. Thank you for all you have done for me and my young men through the years. You are very missed, always loved and never forgotten. Love Stinky
