So sorry to hear of Larry's passing. I worked with Larry at the Post Office for a lot of years. He was just a great person to be around, and had many friends. God Bless and keep Larry, and give the family strength through this tough time.

I have been a friend of Larry's for over 35 years and I have been out of town since I heard he was in hospice. I am so sad that I did not get to visit and give him a final hug and tell him how special he was. I had talked to him after his second fall and wanted to help but said his son was helping him. He and I had lots of good memories together and I will miss him. Prayers to all the family.
