He was such a nice man, and always kind to me. I have some fond memories of him from when I was a kid. I probably won't be able to make it to the funeral, but if I can I will. In case I can't make it, I wanted to offer my condolences. I hope and pray you can find some peace and comfort over these next few days with your loss. Mike Beatrice Rodriguez migueliz4u@yahoo.com I am so sorry to hear of Larry's passing. He was a very good friend and I had the pleasure of knowing him through Ruben Garcia and Gilbert J. Dominguez. Gilbert is my x-husband. Larry taught Gilbert everything about Glazing back when he was 20 years old. My heart goes out to the family. I will remember Larry as one of the nicest people I ever knew. He was always willing to help. Delaine Harris Lucy and Family, Sorry to hear about Larry. I am sorry to be so late in sending this, I don't take the paper and didn't hear about him until after the fact. We are thinking about you and would like you to know we are sending you our best. Bill and Delaine Harris
