We are sorry for your family’s loss. My husband and I know Larry because his son Jason is married to our daughter Melissa. We’ve spent many holiday gatherings with Larry. He was always pleasant. I know his family will truly miss him. Sending love and condolences to his sons Jason and Larry Jr. And his daughter in-laws Melissa and Stefanie and all his grandchildren and great grandchildren. And to his step son Steve and his Family. I know our grandson Maxwell would have loved to have more time with his grandpa Larry. May your hearts heal quickly.
