 Larry lived a life full of passion, love, and dedication, and he will be profoundly missed.

He loved to travel. His favorite destinations included the breathtaking views of Alaska and the beautiful beaches of Hawaii. Larry would always be there for everyone. He would stop whatever he was doing to actively listen and gently offer his wisdom. Larry had a true gift for bringing people together during the holiday seasons. His passion for decorating and his exceptional cooking skills made family gatherings especially memorable.
