Cheryl so sad and so sorry to hear, just today discovered. Although our acquaintance has been limited, getting to chat with Larry when I was mowing was always very enjoyable for me. Larry made me feel welcome to the neighborhood and we seem to relate to things in life really well. I have been looking forward to being his and your neighbor one day, I will miss Larry very much. My prayers are with you and all your family.

Larry was a great guy to work with! He taught me so much about electrical equipment when I had no clue what I was doing! The business advice & life advice he gave me in my younger years was very much appreciated. A gentle soul he was and I appreciate him!

Just found out about the loss of this sweet (sometimes pain) of a man. He was absolutely the best “boss”, friend, mentor, I was fortunate enough to have. We spent many working years together & I watched the boys grow up. Cheryl, we extend our sympathy on this tragic loss & please know that all of you will be in our thoughts in prayers. Love Joe & Rita
