A passionate individual, Larry loved deeply—not only his family but also the dogs that shared his home. His affection for four-legged companions was rivaled only by his unwavering love for his family, with whom he shared countless precious memories. Larry was always eager to be part of the lives of his nieces and nephews, supporting them with unwavering encouragement and attending to their joys and trials.
