Larry,
I just found this memorial after 5 years. There's days like today that I can't get you off my mind and I would love to just spend one more hour with you, talking about life and memories and whatever comes to mind. I miss you so much my friend. You were always my guardian angel while you were alive and I know you are still looking over me. (You're probably sitting on a roof somewhere; ) I just miss you so much and as the good weather begins to show I think of you more and how much you truly loved the world of nature. I will see you again my friend.

Larry. you came into my life without expecting the results that followed. I loved you from day one, and for all the days I ever dreamed to have a father figure, I had always wanted one much like you. You took me roofing, showed me the tricks of the trade and I returned the favor by doing the best I could for my boss. You took me in when I had no home, and tho I wasnt always the best, you accepted me and showed me ways to be better. I had to make life altering changes and you guided me like the Pappa I needed you to be, and for that I have my life today, and I thankyou with all I have to give. I will always have Pappa in my heart, and in my soul when I work hard for my future...You will be missed by so many, and loved all the more. Thankyou for letting me call you my Pappa, it was a precious title for a precious man, YOU...I send my respects to his family, and loved ones. I think of all of you every day

I am really going to miss you Larry. As children, he and I were great friends. We seemed to always be throwing some sort of object around. (baseball, frisbee, football,basketball) From fishing, to delivering newspapers, to riding our bicycles,& snow skiing... we discovered the world together.
We were the best, when it came to pulling off pranks! Our imaginations had no bounderies, our curiosity had no limits. If we thought it was going to be fun, or funny.... we HAD to do it!
Larry, I'm so sorry that you left this world in so much pain. I pray that mom was there, to greet you into Heaven, and that you have only peace & happiness now.
Take care my little brother. (I could always use another Guardian Angel, if you have some spare time...as I am sure I am wearing mom & the others out)
Until we met again my brother, I love you, and will miss you deeply.

I remember Larry's laugh! He was always laughing! Okay, it was usually laughing at me while he was teasing and taunting me (his little sis), but he had lots of fun doing it! You were a great big brother Larry! I miss you.
