A loving man with strong family values and commitment. A man of few words whose life spoke volumes. A gentle man who was a great influence to those who knew him. A man who cared for and supported his wife and children. His grandchildren were his pride and joy. While we are sad, now in Heaven there is a glad reunion with Larry, his baby Sharon, his mom and dad! What a day that will be when we also join them there.
