I am so very sorry for your loss. I have fond memories of Larry as a junior bowler at Castle Lanes. We bowled on the same team in the Saturday morning league. My thoughts are with you during this difficult time. Larry was a great guy.

Dear Debbie and family,
Cory and I send our deepest sympathies. Larry was what we call good people and a stand-up guy - always helpful, kind, and unassuming. We treasured his friendship , his sense of humor , his intelligent banter and his top notch negotiating skills when assisting with a car purchase! But mostly we treasured his big heart. We will miss him immensely. We hope you find comfort in the many sweet memories, and peace in knowing Larry is in a better place.
Condolences,
Cory and Joan

My deepest condolences to Debbie, Brandi and the rest of the family. Larry holds a very special place in my heart as my first corporate boss. And a great one he was! He wasn't just my boss, he was my friend. My son loves to bowl and now every time we go I will think of Larry. RIP Larry.
