We will sadly miss Larry. We are out of the area and will miss the celebration for him but he will be in our thoughts and prayers as well as the rest of your family. We will miss his wit and wisdom and what a character he was.

We will miss Larry, always telling jokes or funny stories. Enjoyed spending time with him and Carol at Ryan and April’s kids party’s and activity’s . Our thoughts and prayers for the family.
I will surely miss Larry. I considered him not only a great patient, but a great friend. I shared many a good story with both Larry and Carole. Larry was a gentlemen and a loving husband and father. He cherished his family and friends. It was an honor to know him. I only hope he and Carole are at the Big Casino in the sky and celebrating a jackpot. God Rest Larry and God Bless.
