So sorry to hear about the passing of your brother Larry. Looking back at growing up over the back fence and some of young activitys we had. Like maybe testing out a sling shot from your garage roof, on some in coming planes. Bless Larry and David for the friendship we all shared.

David and family, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Larry. Heaven has just gained a good man, and he will be greatly missed. Like my brother has already stated that we did a lot of fun stuff together!!! It seems just like yesterday that I got to chat with Larry out here in Norwalk at the time. Once more my sympathy goes to you and the family......please let me know when you plan to have the celebration for Larry and I will pass the info along to my brothers.

My deepest sympathies to David. Larry and David grew up over the back fence from my brothers and myself. I often remember the fun we had in our youth. We played wiffle ball games during the summer, rode bikes to the pool, horsed around, went to school together (K-12), and spent a lot of time camping in Boy Scouts. Larry was a good friend, and will be missed by all who knew him.

I will miss my chats with Larry and Sadie. We visited often as they were outside and we walked by.

Rest in peace, dear cousin. You and David were my favorite cousins. Will miss your phone calls. Say "hi" to your mom and dad for us.
