Our sincere condolences to the entire Flax family. Larry was our neighbor for many years - such a kind man always enjoying a chat across the alley! He is missed.

I had the privilege to met Mr.Lawry Flax ( as I would call him) at my place of work. I work as nurse/ med tech. I was assigned to work on the residential floor in which Mr.Flax resided for his period of time. He was very cordial and cooperative. I was not surprised about his credentials as stated he served this country with dignity. His daughters were completely involved in the matters of his care. I would smile whenever he was with his daughters for luncheon. He's one of the many I enjoyed supporting him in his wellness. Lastly, to his family left behind my sincere condolences
and too Stephanie and Jessica it was a pleasure to meet you at Sunrise.

Sincerely

Ade
