Larry was a great person. He will be missed by all his friends and family. RIP Larry.
Jill, I am so sorry to hear about Larry. I remember working with Larry for a few years before he retired, he was so fun to have around. You and your family are in my prayers.

I remember Larry’s smile my first day starting at Kingsmill. He was a genuine person and we shall miss him.
Larry was a breath of fresh air to us all. His quiet voice, gentle smile and kind disposition will be very much missed by us all.
Larry and Jill have been our next door neighbors, me for 28, Judy for 14. We have many wonderful memories, but here’s one I want to share with everyone. Judy and I flew back from a trip late one Sunday evening. Two weary travelers preparing to take a cab the short distance back home. We come off the jetway heading for baggage claim and their to our surprise was Larry to greet us. Jill was outside waiting in the car. His smile. As genuine as the man. I told him and Jill several years later how surprised Judy and I were by this unexpected kindness. They had dropped us off at the airport on our departure but not a word had been said about them giving us a ride home on our return. Larry told me, “When we drop people off, we pick them up.” Larry you picked all of us up who had the opportunity to be a part of your life.
