I am deeply saddend to hear of "Larry's" passing. Larry was a true gentleman and I was proud and honored to have him as a friend. He brought wisdom and guidance to me at a time when I needed it most. I feel I am a better person from just knowing Larry.

Celebrate his life by remembering all the great, wonderful things he did for his family, friends, and business acquaintances.
