We have known Larry since the 80s when he moved in next door to our family. He was a kind and generous man and you couldn't ask for a better neighbor. Over the years Larry & Fred developed a special relationship as Fred began to work with Larry. We will miss him dearly. Thoughts and prayers to his 3 sons and their families...
I worked with Larry at Wamsutta Mills ( in the olden days). He invited me to a couple cookouts at his house. Good guy!
You may no longer be with us, but you will never be forgotten my brother. Thoughts and prayers to Bobby, Mike and Chad Take care.
Larry was my friend for many years. We met when both of us worked at Wamsutta Mills in the early 70’s. He was such a caring and kind man. Always looking for an adventure and loved to travel. He loved going to NASCAR races and always wanted his friends to travel with him. I have so many wonderful memories of being with him and Joanne. He will be missed by many. I will see him again someday. Praying for Joanne, Steve and his sons.
My sincere condolences to Larry's family. I worked with Larry for over 16 years at Virkler. Larry was a dear friend and the best salesman I have ever met. He was a hard worker and his customers loved Larry. Rest in Peace my dear friend. Bob McGuffey
