Larry had a calm and steadfast personality and was always willing to jump in and help with repairs when he came to visit—even bringing some of his own tools just in case a project came up! It seemed that he faced his own problems the same way—with calmness. Larry will be missed but it’s a comfort to know we’ll see him again one day.
Larry was such a calm and steadfast person, always willing to tackle a project and help out when he came to visit. We have many reminders of his handiwork and repair jobs in our home. We miss him.
Had our fun times growing up in Frienship,NY! Always enjoyed our times together with Barb and you and the family! Will always remember you!
Love you
