Larry was a gentleman. Will always be remembered as a gentleman and competitor that never lost perspective and sight of important values. I remember Little League days when he was a giant and played on the Giants. Played junior high basketball ball against Larry and the feared Bayside boys. Larry certainly did bless and impact all those that knew him, I want his family to find some comfort at his passing and know that he is still a giant.

Played basketball with Larry the past few years at PCC. Went to grade school with his big brother Gary at Parkside School in the 1950/60's and was coached by their father Cliff at CSM in the 1970's.
Larry was a wonderful guy who epitomized "sportmanship".

So sorry to hear of Larry's passing. He was blessed by having such a loving, caring family and especially the support of such a loving wife, Denise. Thoughts are with all of you from your family in the Pacific NW.
