Condolences

I am truly sorry for your loss, Michele, and you boys. I am so glad to have known Larry, a guy who could find a little humor almost anywhere! Hard working, hard playing. Really a hell of a guy....I mean that sincerely. Trust me, I know all too well that life has to go on but it will take time. Maybe lots of time. Remember the good times, cherish the memories. Help each other as I know you will. Thinking of you.....Larry C.

I am grateful that I had Larry in my life, he was a fountain of information, which he shared eagerly, he made me laugh and made my dog fall madly in love with him.

When a hear a wren’s beautiful song while gardening, I will think of Larry and hope some of his knowledge will come with the song.

I am grateful that I was able to say goodbye. NaKook and I will miss him immensely and talk about him often.

Our deepest condolences to Michele, Shawn, Lee, Chad and family. Thinking about you all during this unbearable time. Have peace knowing he’s in no more pain. Love you all

Sincere condolences to the family. Larry was a wonderful person with many devoted friends.

Thinking of you all at this time of grief

A fun guy will be missed

We are both so sorry to hear of Larry's passing. Our thoughts go out to you Michele and your family during this difficult time. Please take some comfort in knowing that there are very few people among us that could make a person smile just by seeing their face. But Larry could, because one knew in no time you'd be smiling, laughing and joking in true Larry style. Larry will be missed by many and never forgotten.

Please accept our condolences at this difficult time. Being at home surrounded by his beautiful family and his "toys" must have meant the world to him. Thinking of you all. Peter and Kathy
