So many childhood memories with you, Larry! Back in the day being in yours, and Amy’s wedding was so exciting for me. It was a real honor.. I remember helping you and Robert Carry vegetables up the hill to the house from the garden. We played Cowboys and Indians and made some mud pies. It was such a fun time. My thoughts are with Amy and Anna and Nancy and the rest of the family, we all loved you. Rest in peace. Cousin. We will see you again soon.

Larry was a truly special person—kind-hearted, honest, and always ready to lend a helping hand. He had a gift in the kitchen and was an excellent cook who found joy in sharing his meals with others. He had a way of making us laugh, even on hard days, and he never held back how he felt—he told the truth, straight from the heart. Larry leaves behind so many wonderful memories, and though he is deeply missed, his spirit lives on in the love he gave so freely. To his beloved wife Amy and their daughter Anna—your strength and love will carry on his legacy.
