Larry, my good friend, may you rest in peace. We share many memories from the 60’s and 70’s and one day we will have the opportunity to share them again. My prayers are with your family during this time………….Bill
Larry was a great friend of our family. We shared a lot of great times with Larry, Peggy and TJ while I was growing up. We will miss him. Mike and TJ, I am sorry for your loss.
I’m so sorry for the loss of Larry. He was a close friend of the families and some of my favorite memories of him were going to Erie and swimming and having a picnic with the family. He will be missed.
So sorry to hear of Larry””””””””””””””””s passing. Hadn””””””””””””””””t seen him for a long time. We dated years ago when Michael was around 4-5 years old when they were back in PA and living on Eagle Street. We were friends with Robert Eisenhuth also. I remember how kind Freda and Sam were to me and I kept in touch with them over the years and would stop in if I got to Franklin.I remember going to the cottage and the good times we had and then Bob got married and Larry got back with the love of his life, Peggy, and I married and moved away.My sympathy to all family and friends.

Mike, Hannah and Evan,
I am so very sorry for the sudden and tragic loss of your dad and grandfather. I hope and pray that you find solace in one another and the knowledge that he is at peace after such a long period of suffering.
With blessings to all,
