Larry was a great patriot of the country and provided a great service to the community.
Always had something positive to say, and was very professional and cared about the fine details of his work.
He was a master craftsmen with shoes or anything with leather. I always enjoyed talking with him and learning something new from his vast experience. He will be missed but never forgotten.
