Larry and I were classmates and best of friends for years! We would talk about every day and had many meals together! He was probably my best friend in the whole world!

Amy , I am so sorry to hear that your Dad is no longer with us. He was a great brother - law for so many years. I enjoyed the big smile that he had. He was fun to be around. If you need any help in the future, don’t be afraid to reach out to me. Jerry Ziegler

Larry was not only my brother-in-law but when my dad had passed he was my knight-in-shining-armor. He was a terrific guy. I will miss our phone calls. He would never say goodbye, it would be... Toodle oo!

One of the most kind-hearted people I have ever known. Have so many fond memories of drives and playing cards with him. Uncle Larry's smile was infectious, always so full of love. He will always be in my heart. Sorry we can't make the service Amy, we wish we were there but you are in our thoughts. thoughts.
