How blessed I am to have had such a wonderful father in-law but more than that a cherished friend. He was kind, caring, loving, compasionate, thoughtful and a great listener…I could go on and on.
His love for his wife and son was tremendous. His love for his wife was an on going love story. I loved how he would grin and laugh when hearing Kay share past stories. He always put her first. I’m so thankful he welcomed me with open arms and allowed me to assit in caring for him in his final months. He was so very thankful and tried no to over burden me. I would tell him “you don’t give me enough to do for you” then kiss him good night.
I miss him dearly. His suffering is over and he is at peace in Gods arms.
Larry, thank you for the very best gift and that is your son, my loving husband whos soul mirrors yours and for my amazing son Sean who is such a kind and loving boy who reminds me even more of you.
My love and respect forever,
Tiffany

I only met you three times in my life, but I got to know you through my grandparents, my mother, great aunts and uncles, and cousins. The joy and love you brought to us is unmeasurable. Its like ripples in water being past to the next generation my children never met you, but love and will miss you just as much as I will. God bless and rest in peace my dear uncle. Love Lori O’Toole and Twins

I remember Uncle Larry fondly, he was always so smart, kind and decent, how much he loved Aunt Kate and his family and that love was returned. I know his loss will be felt, but his true legacy is the same kindness and decency and love which marked his life. It was a very nice service. I hope that it was a comfort to you all and Aunt Kate, I know that this has been very hard on her, and that she is feeling very alone right now. I am glad that you guys are there for her and each other during this loss.
