Dear Notto Family, I'm so sorry for Larry's death. You, his family and Helena will miss a great and wonderful Dad, Granddaddy and man. Larry knew everyone in Helena and loved life as he lived it, of course, until Lynn, your Mom and Grandmother, died. I join you in spirit and prayer as you mourn the loss of your Dad and Granddaddy who is now with Lynn in Heaven. I wish I were there to hug and kiss each of you. You are so special to each other and to me even though it has been a long time since I left Helena. I left a piece of my heart there and especially with Larry III and Anita whom I taught.. You have my prayers and Love, Sr. Kitty (Sr. Catherine)

As a new salesperson in the late 1980's, I called on Larry at his store for 18 months or so. He was a bright spot in my day, always friendly, funny, and ready to share a soft drink and good conversation. It saddens me to hear of his passing. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Dear Notto family,
It sadden me yesterday when Margie called me about our good friend Larry. He was such a fine christian man, and in this day in time, those are far and few between. I loved both Larry and Lynne, both had a smile and warm greeting when I would meet them some where. Your memories will always be witrh you all, and all should be good. I never heard a bad word said about either of them.
In deepest sympathy,

I am so sorry for your loss. I have so many fond memories of Mr. Larry when I was growing up. I would go with my grandad (Sam Brocato) every weekend to the store and he would always give me a coke and let me sit in the drive-thru window. He always had great jokes & stories to tell, and he always talked about how wonderful his kids were. I know his family & the community will miss him very much! I know I will. He was a kind and generous man! My thoughts & prayers go out to the family.
