Sending all my love to Larry’s family, and my deepest condolences. Larry was an absolutely wonderful man who loved and cared for my great Auntie Margie, and I don’t have any memories of my aunt without Larry having been there. He was such a kind-hearted man who always had me laughing. May he rest peacefully, and once again my love to his family.
If there was an angel on Earth it was Larry, anybody who knew him loved him, he would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it, he was a friend to everyone.
We will miss you Larry RIP.
Larry was a true gentleman and such a sweet man… Margie lived next door to my family for most of my life. Larry would always take a moment to wave or say hi if he saw you when he visited Marge. I hope he is up in heaven laughing with her and all his loved ones now.
So sorry for your loss. May he rest in peace.
We are so sorry to hear of Larry’s passing, our hearts go out to Larry’s family & friends. Larry always had a smile on his face, no doubt he is up there with Margie smiling from ear to ear. May they rest in peace together eternally.
