Dear Hellrung Family,I was greatly saddened upon hearing about Larry. I grew up two doors down on Monac St. I also worked at Weissenberger during the summers for my father (Bob Gray). Larry took me under his wing, if I had any questions about the business. He was always a true gentleman. We had some great talks during those times. He sure had a kind outlook on life. I would always ask about him if I ran into anyone from Weissenberger's. I'll truely miss Larry.
