Carla and Family,
I have been broken hearted to hear of Larry passing. I have wonderful memories of Larry. He was the life of the party and a terrific friend. The world will be less bright without his bright smile. You have my deepest sympathy.

Carla and Family,
So sad to hear about Larry...What a great guy. Do you remember when he came to our home (when I was married to Paul Hurley) and played Santa Claus for the kids, Shaan and Patrick? They'll never forget. We'll miss him.
