4 Jan 2024He was affectionally known to all his friends as Wally. He was a very good person that would help in any way he could, whenever he could. He wasn’t blessed with great health, but made the most of the time he was given with those he knew and loved. He is already greatly missed.

4 Jan 2024Larry was a man with a big smile but larger heart. One of the most positive persons I have been around, whether it was at a Chiefs game, BBQ outing or Platonic get together. My sadness I share with many is outweighed by the memories and happy times I was blessed to have with Larry. May God Grant Peace to Larry and Welcome Him Home.
