    Larry was a great guy!!! Always enjoyed conversations and solving the world's problems with him over coffee and breakfast at Joes Coffee Shop. My wife and I would always run into him and your mom out shopping together. They were a beautiful couple and truly in love. May God be with your family and may the great memories you have bring you comfort going forward.
