Larry was known for his big heart. He loved people and always accepted everyone for who they were. He was a loving husband and father always supportive and present. He believed family was always most important. He died in the house he loved, in the city he loved and grew up in. There will forever be a hole in the hearts of those lives he touched, whether family, friend, or neighbor.
