Larry was the most loving, and understanding man that I have ever known! He was an awesome father to our children and through good times and bad he was always there for me. I will miss him more then anyone will ever know! RIP Larry Sr. <3

Uncle Larry was there for my daughter and I when we needed a change in my life. He loved my daughter Jasmine his great Neice and she loves him very much as well.

You were the most loyal, loving, forgiving and Generous man that I have ever known! Our boys and I miss you more then words can say... Even when times got rough you were always there with encouraging words. helping any way you could! I thank you for that! Life for your family will be so different without you and I hope I can be as good as a mother as you were a father! I love you Larry!! RIP

Uncle Larry it is still hard for me to believe you are gone.I sit in my rocking chair and look at the picture frame I made for you and think of old times as a kid.You were so kind and fun to be around.You let me do chores around your house and pay me to do so..it's how I got coffee cake every morning in Jr. High!! I remember your laugh..and that makes me cry. I know you are no longer hurting and in pain,and for this I am thankful for you.I miss you and I love you and I will for Always and Forever!

I never new you only threw words from a friend sorry you ran out of time im sure ill see you in another life !c.l.k

Larry was hands down one of our most loyal and hardest working members of the Apple Valley Marine Corps League. He was a charter member and worked faithfully from our very first organizational meeting in January of 2011, right up to the Christmas party last week. Larry was also our first Sgt of Arms. He will be deeply missed. The Detacment officers will stay in touch with the family to insure they are secure and cared for with shelter and spiritual needs. Any family member may feel free to call me. Mike Brewer/Commandant; Apple Valley Marine Corps League. 760-550-8083. Semper Fi Larry and keep those gates of heaven open for us!
