Larry was a true friend. He enjoyed being around people and gathering friends wherever he went. He was the glue that held everyone together, the leader of the band. We already miss him so much! Rest in peace, dear friend. We will love you forever and always.

Larry was the true meaning of friendship. There was nothing he wouldn’t to to help you out. He never complained about his health.Pam was a godsend to come into Larry’s life. He will always be missed and will stay in our hearts. Rest In Peace.
Larry was my best friend for 50 years! We went to school together, worked together, played together, and traveled throughout the world together. We felt each other’s happiness and our troubles. Larry liked people and liked to help people. He adored and was so proud of each and every member of his family. I believe he left a very positive mark on everyone’s life he touched. I will have Larry with me forever and every time I think of him I will feel lucky he was my very best friend with whom I will miss forever.
A true friend and ultimate organizer. If Larry could not solve a problem for you, he had three other friends he would connect you with to help you. Dear Pam and family, it was my total honor to know Larry for many years. He had so many friends, we will all miss him.
Pam and Family,
I am so saddened to hear about Larry. I literally learned last night while at Meadowbrook. Please accept our sincere condolences on his passing. Sincerely, Barb Weir and all the employees from Weir Heating and Cooling.
