Larry was my neighbor and my friend. I first met Larry when I was purchasing my home in 1994. We worked on many projects together, shared lots of laughs, tears and best of all a wonderful time. I truly miss him and to his loving wife and family, I am so very sorry for you loss in life.
I miss you grandpa, you and I were both quiet and never really talked much. I wish we could have been closer. I am glad you are not suffering anymore and will see you again someday.
I love you and miss you. Good bye grandpa..

Dear Larry, You have been such an important part of such an amazing family You have been so kind and thoughtful.
Your steady calmness and kindness has been an inspiration to others. It was so much fun to see your cool cars at the summer auto shows. You were so proud of your wonderful Shelby and we admired it too. Love, Marilynn Beito
DEAR BIG BROTHER You`re unique sense of humor and gentle nature will be missed by your friends, family and all the animals you loved especially Joey big boy your orange tabby cat. You often spoke of how much you enjoyed the 2012 Freeman brothers and nephew Scott vacation. We saw the Oregon caves and hiked in the Avenue of the Redwoods forest. I remember doing this on a family vacation when I was 12 years old. We also saw Yosemite National Park and walked among the giant Sequoia trees. Then we moved Scott home. Amanda,Michael,grandkids Chris,Josh,Ciara,Casey,their dad Mark niece Lisa nephews Scott and Kevin and all of us will always have you in our hearts as an example of how we should treat each other. You left us too soon. Love your brother Gene.
Brother Larry, I will always remember your love of cars and pets, your sly humor, and sense for adventure. As a child I remember the white rats with pink eyes you kept in your bedroom, which was surrounded by model cars you built and displayed, along with the Blue Ribbons you won.
I remember when you left for California with your green Corvette Stingray. You returned in your Ford Bronco a few years later, and had transformed into the mature, soft spoken, kind and warm person you were.
I miss you, I love you, and will always cherish the memories.
Your Little Brother, Ron
I first met Larry back in 1985 when he came into my body shop looking for a job. We talked more about our common interest in bronco’s and jeeps and 4 wheel drive clubs then his work histoy and thats what got him hired . It was the begining of a long and trusted friendship. Together we painted the entire Carnation Dairies fleet of trucks . After a few years we both moved on to work at Wester Peterbilt where we worked together until his well deserved retirement. Larry’s humor and friendship made my life at work enjoyable.
Larry… Together we have made so many great memories . Here are some of my favorites . Building and racing stock cars at Spanaway Speedway . Taking my daughter to her first prom night in your street rod. It got more looks than the limos the other couples were in . You made her proud. Riding in that same car at my wedding , you had it all decked out with flowers ribbons and a just married sign on the back . The car shows ,gun shows fishing , picking up antique junk car and tractor parts for yard art . So many good times we shared . I will hold onto these memories forever. There is nothing more valuable in life than friends and family . Love you Larry
Uncle boogie –
You’ve been gone a week and I still break down every time I think about you. Your calmness, kindness, and genuine love for your family and friends is what I will miss the most. Thank you for being a voice of reason, helping hand, and best friend.
I will forever remember our time spent together moving me from the Bay Area, through Yosemite, and back to Washington. Not many uncles try to pet a wild deer, feed a bear, or tell you to speed up on the freeway 🙂
May heaven have an endless raceway and a full-time pit crew.
Miss and love you with all of my heart and soul
-little buddy

Larry, Linda and I were so sad to hear of your passing. I know we were not as close as step-brothers could be, but always enjoyed talking with you when we did see each other. I’m sure heaven has a place for you and we will see you there someday. Rest in Peace.
