    I have done business with Larry for 30 years and consider him one of the few friends in the business world that was a true “stand up” guy. Larry and I would often discuss children/grandchildren and similar experiences during our military service. He will be missed. My deepest sympathy and condolances to his family-Wally Dale

    The many comments written by friends speak volumes to the great guy and friend I knew Larry to be in our high school years and for a few years thereafter. While adult life took us our separate ways, it was always great to see him at class reunions and catch up. Larry will always be remembered as one of the people who made a difference in this world. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family friends in this time of loss.

    Dear Sue, Jennifer, and Sara,

    My thoughts and prayers are with you. My memories of Larry are of a good and kind man who worked hard and loved his family. He will be missed. Blessings to all of you.

    Love, Lynne

    We are so sorry we did not know of Larry’s passing until too late to come. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We remember Larry from Surburban Hardware. He was always so polite. As you said he and Dad will be fixing everything up there for God and just enjoying themselves!

    My wife Vicki and I send our sympathy and condolences to Larry’s family. We were sad to hear of his passing. I lived a few houses around the corner from Larry during our High School years. Larry went to bat for me to get me hired at Suburban Hardware and thinking of those days generates many a fond memory. While adulthood and careers had us going our separate ways, I always remember Larry as a great friend and a really upstanding guy, I enjoyed our acquaintance very much.

Please share your thoughts ...
