I met Larry when I was 19yrs old I will miss him
I’ll always remember Uncle Larry in a black t-shirt with a pack of Lucky Strikes rolled perfectly in his sleeve, a smile on his face and a pair of mirrored sunglasses. Growing up, all the kids were obsessed with the cardboard fireplace that he made sure was put out at Christmas. He introduced me to science fiction and NASCAR racing. He made an amazing burger on the grill and knew all of my favorite Twilight Zone episodes. He was kind and he loved unconditionally. I will miss him greatly. Thank you for everything Uncle Larry. I love you
Larry has always been a dear and special person in our family. Married to my cousin, he stood up as Best Man when my husband and I were married...in the middle of a blizzard. He was always ready to help and great to be around. He will be greatly missed. Prayers for God's comfort for Carol and his children.
He was the best dad ever.
