It's been a year since Larry passed and I can still see his friendly smile and remember his charming personality. Larry made people smile and always brightened their day

We have lost a good friend with Larry's passing. He enjoyed the high school reunions and made sure to visit with everyone. His energy was strong even as he managed his physical issues. A great friend.

I am truly sorry for your loss. Larry was one of the best men I have ever met. He was an honest, principled, caring individual. He was a wonderful friend and listener as we discussed everything happening in our lives while we were out there on those trips. I will always cherish the time we spent together. He will forever hold a special place in my heart.
Rest in peace my dear friend!
