Larry had the ability, no matter the situation, to bring a smile to our faces and a joy to our hearts. Although our hearts are breaking in our grief, we will use this precious memory each day to remind us to smile, to love, and be happy. What better gift could a man leave his family and friends?

Diane and famly,I am sorry to hear of Larry's passing. I had the best times of my life working with him at the bank. He always kept us girls laughing.
