Larry was such a great guy to bowl with. Many great many of going on out of town tournaments. I’ve missed him so much at bowling. After Mary died I was at reno for nationals & I remembered the spot they had played slots. In memory I could see them there. Glad I was able to share my engagement with him last spring. Im sad he’s gone but glad he is with Mary again.

Grandpa Larry was the funniest, most stubborn, and most charming man I knew. He always knew the right time to change the conversation and the right way to make you laugh. When I was really young we used to sit down in his basement and watch sports and movies together. Not many words were exchanged, but I know that him letting me stay there was a way he showed he loved me.
