Larry, you will be greatly missed!! As your previous neighbors, there wasn’t a day that went by without saying hello, stoping by for a lollipop, or having you over for dinner. You were a bright soul and a wonderful person. Of course, it goes without saying that you enjoyed a good joke and laughing out loud. We love you! Brett, Cindy, Barrett & Harrison Clarke
