Larry used to do the tire work for my business, Advantage Freight, until Joe took over. He was always a joy to talk to and I respected him as much as any one I ever worked with. He was a tremendous man. I'm sorry for your loss

Our dear Toots, we were so very sorry to hear of Larry's death. Larry was an asset to our company, Gullickson Trucking. He came every Friday and replaced tires on tractors and trailers. He always walked around the lot, checking to see if any of the equipment sitting in the yard was in need of new tires. We still talk about Larry and the great service he performed for us.
Larry always had a smile on his face and had a big heart. So very sorry to hear he is no longer with us. He will be greatly missed.
