Peg and I both had a strong long lasting friendship with Larry. I remember snacking on pretzels and ice cream before our basketball games, many rounds of golf in league and with our fearsome foursome on Mondays at Woodland Hills Golf course. Larry could rattle off jokes non stop and keep us laughing for hours. Our cribbage games were a constant bragging right for the latest 2 of three winner. We could write a book about our memories. Loved Larry like a brother.

We will always be thankful for Larry’s humble caring ways, and we’ll remember him always through summer’s green grass, bright fireworks, and casting a line out to show the kids how it’s done. In winters grips, we will miss racing out to clear the sidewalks before Larry, and miss the relief we felt on the days when you get home from work and he had already taken care of it. We will miss his great jokes and contagious laughter. We have been blessed to have such amazing neighbors who we could always count on. Denise, Mallory, words cannot express, our gratitude for sharing Larry with us all these years. May he rest in peace, knowing he was so loved, and we are here to help you through this difficult time.

I’m so sorry Denise and Mallory. Larry was a wonderful human. He would always talk politics and was very informed. Larry was a passionate and caring husband and father, and I am so proud to be Mallory’s godmother.
