"In loving memory of Lawrence Lewis Chestnut, My heart is so very sad and heavy to hear of Larry's passing. I?m also very sorry to hear that he had a long struggle with Alzheimer?s. Larry was our "across-the-street" neighbor for 29 years in a small cul-de-sac in West Hills, California. Larry was the friendliest; nicest; most considerate; helpful; reliable neighbor - just ?the best.? My family and I missed him after he (and we) moved out of the area in 2006. - With deepest sympathies."
In loving memory of
Lawrence "Larry" Lewis Chestnut
