My 1960 fellow class mate never met a stranger. Hey Larry, thanks again for carrying my books when I broke my left arm when we were class mates at former Fremont Ross on Croghan Street. Such a big strong fella always taking care of those who needed assistance..... Life took him from us way too soon, He left us all remembering that big raucous laugh! Til we meet again, watch over your loved ones and put a word in to the Big Guy to guide them through life's challenges. Hugs to the family, Charlotte (Kollman) (Slemmer) Zimmerman. now residing in Sandusky, Ohio.

Dear family, friends and co-workers: We were all so blessed to have known Larry. He is now with loved ones who have passed and will always look over those he left behind to cherish his memory. His Bodacious Browns will give him a grand feeling this coming year as they have turned the corner and are back! He worked with my brother John Kollman at Great Scot and the two of them never had a dull day. Two witty characters for sure! Larry, I really miss your smile and am so glad that I had the pleasure of seeing it all through Fremont Ross Jr. High and Sr. High 1955-1960. Party on big guy! Charlotte (Kollman) (Slemmer) Zimmerman
