Dear Larry,
I will now say goodbye. You have left this World much to soon. I will miss you. I will cherish the times we spent together. The happy times and sometimes sad ones. All the family get-togethers. Our vacations, especially Portugal, holidays, movies, Scrabble and many other special moments. Remember all the supermarket runs, lol. We weren’t always good at expressing our feelings into words, but we always cared for each other. I will always remember the times you told me that my sister gave you a family and a home.Thank you for all the LOVE you gave my sister, your Maria, through the years. She will always LOVE you. Thank you for the LOVE you gave us all. The family is now becoming stronger and our love is growing everyday. Thank you. We will miss you.RIP Brother -In-law. I will now say goodbye, for now.
Love Always,
Peter
I think we all learned much about kindness, caring, and enjoying life from Larry. The world is a less bright and happy place without him. And yet, we go on as he would have wanted… Carrying on those lessons and the joy that he passed on to us. Much love from this little branch of the family.
❤️☀️🫂

These are one of the saddest moments in life, when a friend leaves, thank you for all the trust you placed in me during all these years working with you, thank you for sharing with me all your teachings and the wisdom to handle difficult situations without making anyone feel or offend, thank you for always being there in my most difficult moments and always being an emotional support. thank you for showing me affection and your sincere friendship
I always remembered you with a lot of admiration and respect, I will always miss that call in the morning for the company update
You’ll always have a special place in my and my family’s heart.
Larry came into our live and made it better. He was my ” cousin” as he always called me! To say that he was a great human being is not exaggeration. He was funny, caring and loving. He will always be in my heart.
Although Larry is no longer amongst us, his memory will be cherished forever.
Larry you and Maria were our first friends when we moved here. You were always a great friend- dependable, kind, loyal, and a rock to your family. Our adventure in Portugal was one for the ages. Paul and I love you and will miss you terribly. Rest well dear friend.
By entering the lives of our aunt and cousins, Larry entered ours. And how much better our lives became. Not just because we knew they were well looked after, but because Larry’s huge heart and good humor was extended to everyone in the family. We are very grateful that he was best man of our wedding, giving us ongoing examples of the devotion – and sometimes patience 🙂 – necessary for a happy and successful journey together.
We are very sorry that he left too soon, and he will always be remembered with saudade.
Larry,
You will remain in my memory forever.
Love,
Jú
Larry, how lucky I was to have known you.
Love Helen
Though we have not been in touch for the past several years, Betsy and I thought of you and Maria quite often. We are very sorry about the time we lost and the fun we missed out on having. I will never forget the support you offered that earned me the job at Brickforce. Your loss will be felt by many. Rest in Peace.
