I have known Larry since high school. He was my best friend, my brother in law and the closest thing to a brother I ever had. If not for him I would never have met my wife. Rest in peace Larry. I will miss you very much and if there is an afterword I will see you soon. Logan

Joyce and family,
I have fond childhood memories of sledding and skiing in your yard and having hot chocolate. I remember Larry mowing the large yard, taking care of the trees, and Joyce near by taking care the flowers. I’ll never forget the double bicycle! Wonderful neighbor and friend to my parents and our family. Sincere condolences to all of you!

We are so sorry to hear of the passing of my Uncle Larry. He was my Mom’s brother and there were many times over the years that we had visits from Larry and Joyce and spent time with them. I have such good memories of all of those times. I remember him as always being so friendly and kind. He certainly will be missed. Our thoughts are with you, Joyce, and your family during this difficult time. We hope with the passing of time that it will get easier and that your memories of Larry will comfort you.
With Love from, Lynn and Jim Kowalski
