"I met Larry a long time ago...prolly 30 years! There was a time I seen him every week through out the summer playing Jack n Jull softball! Larry always had a smile, a joke and/or a smart ass comment but he was always genuine! Never a cruel word about anyone, and he lived as he chose to! Ask him for help and he was there to help! The last 10 years has been pretty hard for him n he stopped enjoying his life, I know in my heart that he is now free n Happy n loving it up in Heaven as he used to down here! Larry will be sadly missed and thought of often n always! God bless him n his family n friends in this time of loss! I'd like to say it gets easier...but it doesn't! Just remember all the good times n keep a smile for Larry! Rest in peace ole friend! Love ya, Ellie! "
