most to him.
Larry loved being surrounded by family and friends and it would always put a big smile on his
face. He enjoyed the church services every Sunday with the church family at Overlook Chapel.
Larry was a kind hearted soul and always welcomed everyone into his family whether you were

loved ones is the most important thing a; Husband, Father, Brother, Son, and friend can do, and
