December 11, 2022 at 11:51 pmSo sad to hear of Larry’s passing. Mom said she was just thinking about him this week. Shelly and I always enjoyed sitting at the same table as Larry and Paula. Larry will be remembered to us as a very nice man and on to be looked up to. Mom commented on how she used to babysit Larry and his brothers and going to he and Paula’s wedding. Our prayers are for Larry, Paula and the whole family.
