Our sincerest condolences to you and your family! Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
My sweet, sweet, gentle brother. Always so incredibly kind to me. At eleven years old I crashed his brand new Honda 90 trailbike into a stump and bent the wheel rim. He never yelled and after the expense of a new rim he let me ride it again and again and again. A sweet and gentle fellow……except in traffic…..those clowns!
Larry was a wonderful brother to his three younger sisters. He was always kind and generous. Larry was a gentle soul. I will miss him dearly.
