Pam,
I send love and prayers for you and the family. I have known Larry since I was 10 years old.

I answered the phones for him and my dad when they ran Uregas. He introduced me to Dr Pepper and Milky Way bars-I think of him any time I have one.

Larry was a dear family friend - had the best smile and laugh. So thankful that he was a part of my family’s life!

He will not be forgotten!
Love to you Pam-
Sharon Gentle
