24 Mar 2021My condolences, prayers and love to Larry’s family. Larry was a wonderful person. He was my favorite supervisor and cherished friend. I’m sure he heard “Well done, good and faithful servant” when he left this earth.

25 Mar 2021Prayers and condolences to all the family. We count them among our dearest friends. The last 10 years have been the best with our weekly breakfasts at Panera’s. Even through the pandemic we still met – on our deck and then through Zoom. Blessings to the family as we continue this journey called life – now with Larry looking down and over us.
