"Larry was a amazing man! I worked with him for the past 12 years, he was always smiling, laughing, making silly jokes, I always enjoyed when he came in! He always knew where the best BLOODY MARY'S were being served as well, I trusted him and always tried them out if I had time:):) I am praying for the family...I am so sorry for your loss, he was truly amazing!

Tributes
"Larry was a student in my printing classes the first year I taught. I consider him one of my success stories as he had a lengthy career in the printing industry. In 1973, the high school yearbook was dedicated to me. At the time, Larry was working as a pressman for the Stoughton Courier-Hub and printed the yearbook. That made the dedication all the more important to me."
