Barb,
I am so sorry to hear about Larry. He was the kindest man and always had a smile that was so genuine. I fondly remember him from our marina days. He always made me laugh and smile, and I looked forward to talking with him each day. Thinking of you and sending positive energy your way.

Barb, so sorry to hear this news. Larry and I go back to the 70s when we'd get together at the lake. Unfortunately we lost touch with each other after I left town for several years, but many great memories.

Hello Barb,
I just learned this morning about Larry's passing. We are very sad and extend our deepest sympathy. I have known Larry since I was a young teenager. We had many wonderful times together. We take comfort in knowing that he loved the Lord.
Sincerely,
Tim and Mary Beth
