Tom and I are so saddened by his passing. Larry has been in my life for over 50 years. Too many memories to speak of. But the most current and 2 that will stay with us is Larry visiting us in Rhode Island. He wasn’t a visitor and loved his home, but he spent the day and evening eating, laughing and joking. It warmed my heart that he made the trip. Last visit was to our house for our annual Papacoda Halloween party. He had a great time. Forever in our hearts. Our deepest sympathy to our dearest friends
Lara, I am so sorry for your loss. You had a very special bond with your dad and have many cherished memories. I am out of state and won’t be able to come to the service but my heart is with you and your whole family.
Sue and the rest of the Papacoda Family, My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this sorrowful time. May he rest in peace.
My condolences go out to the Papacoda families and friends
