Larry was a great guy and had a big heart. Made great pies and cooked as well as his mother. Always spoke to me whenever we saw one another. Big smile. RIP HUGS TO ALL THE FAMILY

Very few times do I make a trip to Christiansburg that I didn´t see Larry walking five miles faster than the speed limit going to his next obligation. I´ll miss that; I´ll miss Larry. He always seemed to be glad to see me, and I think he was. Larry was part of a great family and had two terrific gals. God bless all of you. Larry will be missed by many, many people.
