I met Larry when I lived at Central Park. Wouldnt you know it, it was at the pool. I would walk by him and think man, what a TAN! Wish I could get that dark! He always smelled AMAZING, and dressed to the nine’s! I loved his southern accent and his laugh was contagious. His Christmas Cookie platter was one of the nicest things I ever received and was all so delicious. Our trip to Brown County with Jess and him in the Jeep are missed. Thank you Larry for our friendship. I am sorry for not being able to say goodbye! I think of you often.
I met Larry at Epson and we talked about Blondies cookies 🍪 and having lot’s of shoes 👞. He was a really nice person and we would laugh a lot. Sorry to hear he has passed on. Stay strong in time it may get better to deal with this. Always remember the good times and things that made Larry who he was.
Larry was always laughing and making jokes and could brighten up a room. I always loved the sound of his laughter and enjoyed his stories about some of his life experiences. I remember a time when I was grieving the loss of a pet, so Larry had bought me a blue Beta fish so that I would once again have something to love and care for, little did I know that one fish ended up helping me with the loss of losing my dog but it also had me buying a fish tank and more fish! Now every morning when I get up to feed all my fish I will be thinking of you Larry. I’m so glad that I got to be your friend.
You will never be forgotten and continue to live in everyone’s hearts.
R.I.P Larry you will always be remembered as M.B.C.B, I will miss you deeply.
RIP Larry
I still look for those cookbooks when I go thrifting. Always thinking of you!

My Heart just breaks. Larry was a loving caring soul. He had a huge giving heart. I loved to hear that laugh of his and to see that smile. He will be greatly missed by all. Til we meet again my friend.
Larry was an amazing spirit and his loving kindness touched us all. It is sad to think that I will never hear his unforgettable laugh anymore, or the sound of his voice when he would tell one of his silly jokes. Being your friend was a blessing.
Larry you made the days brighter. Loved your smile and your humor. I loved getting my hugs when I would get a chance to see you. You are missed and I love ya.
