Though we hadn't stayed in touch over the years as much as we could have, memories of the great times Jack, you and I had, working on cars, listening to Montrose and others, will always be with me. Your quick smile will always be remembered. Unfortunately, I can't make it to the service as we have to be out of town, but just know we have your family in our thoughts and prayers.

As a kid growing up, I'll always remember visiting & playing with my "little cousin Larry", along with his sisters at uncle Alvin & aunt Freda's. What a nice man, with a "friendly soul".

Larry was one of my all-time favorite people. We solved a lot of the worlds problems over the years while seating on a John Deere gator and tipping a few beers. He will be missed by many.
