    Dear Tracy, Larry, Deanna and families,
    Our hearts are so heavy right now, as we remember the fun, the laughter, his singing, his jokes, and his warm smile. He was a great Dad, and such a loving Uncle to our boys.
    They “ adored” him!
    He had the biggest heart, was an
    “ old softy” and certainly was so so proud of you three.
    Look back at all the wonderful memories he gave us all, which will hopefully help your hearts to begin healing.
    We love you all,
    Uncle Mike, Aunt Renee,
    Joe and Mikey XO

    Our deepest sympathy to Larry’s children and grandchildren. He was a cousin and good friend to both of us. We always enjoyed our visits to Fort Myers knowing we could count on him to be very entertaining. Many years of good times and now he can reunite with family and friends to keep it up..
