History

Larry ws loved by all who met him. A true family man, and a giver beyond material ways. Larry will be sadly missed by all who knew him. The time he spent with his grandchildren were the "happiest days of his life". He always looked forward to being a"kid" alongside any child. His grandchildren fondly recall the many hours spent playing with their Pa Pa in the basement or the countless time spent learning how to swim. He always had a camera or video camera nearby to record the time spent with the kids for future generations to enjoy. Larry was best noted for his kindness, love, patience, thoughtfulness and his desire to do all things right. He enjoyed gardening, fixing things, wood working, music, swimming, fishing and the Ocean. He always looked forward to vacationing in Myrtle Beach. He played the Lottery and Publishers Clearing House, the elusive windfall while never achieved by Larry was undoubtedly for the benefit of those he loved around him. larry also had a love for cats especially Angel and Scooter.
