I've been thinking about your family all week, sending you good thoughts and smiles from getting to know Larry these past couple years and hearing his stories. I'll never forget his voice and his smile, he was a great guy!

Our hearts go out to Peg and the family on their loss. We've been friends with the Bells for many years, and have a lot of great memories with them. We can say that Larry was a gentleman in the truest sense of the word. He will definitely be missed, but never forgotten.
