    Larry worked for me at Prudential in Steubenville in the 80's. He was a great fellow and even though I hadn't seen him in over 20 years , I was sad to get the news from another of my ex-agents that Larry had died.He and Bonnie were special. Steve Uhas

    Matt and family, I'm so sorry to hear of your father's passing. I remember him as the fun, cool dad. We had some great times at your house swimming. It's so hard to believe that was almost 20 years ago- it seems like yesteday. I will be in town Friday for my Aunt Elsie funeral but will not be able to make it in beforehand. I wish I could be there in person, but please know you are in my thoughts and prayers. May God bless you during this difficult time. Love, Kristy

    Our sympathies go out to the entire family. I rode the bus to school w/Larry for more than 6 years of school & he was always a good friend.

    I have not seen Larry since High School but I would have recognized him easily from his smile. A friendly person then and probably throughout his life. Another old friend has gone. My sympathy to the family. See you again Larry, Bill White

    I am very sorry to hear about the loss of Larry. I worked with him at Prudential and he made every day there enjoyable with his wonderful sense of humor. He was fun to be around and I will always have fond memories of him. My family and I send our deepest sympathies for your loss.

    Damn it is hard to believe that it has been a year already. I feel that I speak for not only Judy and my Brother David but for anybody that was blessed to have been touched by my Father that this year has been a roller coaster ride for all of us. At times it seems impossible to even make it through the day.....but we have survived and we are still here. There is a void in our hearts that cant and never will be replaced but even more so today than before, through this ordeal i have discovered that my Father with his chasmaric wit, carefree look of life, and ability to put others before himself made him the man he was. These things he did without knowing or even trying and that is what makes him a "real" and "true" person which I have been honored and blessed to call....Dad.

    Matt and Family, I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your father. My Mom wanted me to let you know she is sorry she was unable to make it to the funeral home today.
