Over the course of his life, he acquired over 21 plaques of appreciation of service from different organizations.

We will remember Larry as… a good father & stepfather. One thing that brought him much joy was having his one hour a week Skype time with his son Chris. As a husband, who loved his wife, Ann, with all his heart. A person who proudly served his country, community and church. And, as a fighter, who fought with all his might against the infection that took over his body. And, finally, as a man at peace, once he knew loved ones and his God were there with him at the end.

Your presence is missed, your memories we treasure. Loving you always, forgetting you never.
