may god bless and keep you during this sad time, Larry will be truly missed. He did a lot of wonderful things while at YIN, and I became fond of him and his funny ways. Glad I was able to work under his guidance. He will always be remembered in this life.

Barb and family. I am soo sorry for your loss! Larry always talked about his wonderful family and even added pictures of his grand kiddos to his new hire fiscal PowerPoint so he could show them off! He was a good man and will be greatly missed. I remember one time when it had snowed at work I joked with Larry that he should come outside with me to make a snow angel. I went and he didn't. Now it's his turn :) My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
