In the short time Larry was a part of my life he made a huge impact in it. Larry and his family were so kind to me and I am glad I got to know them even if it was short. I will forever think of Larry when I bake because he taught me so many tricks, when I play pool Ill be lost without my partner in crime and Ill definitely light up a cigar when camping in his honor! If there is ANYTHING his family needs or wants to just talk about Larry I would always be willing to listen. He became the grandpa I didnt have. My condolences to Larrys family I know he will be greatly missed.
