Larry grew up in Wayne Center, NY.  He was a student at the Rose Union School and then transferred to, and graduated from, North Rose High School.  He loved classic cars and was proud of his fully restored and customized 1956 Studebaker Power Hawk.  Larry was a member of Sunnyside Community Church for many years and had a beautiful singing voice.  Larry had many old friends and was always making new friends wherever he went.  He bravely kept a good attitude and his chin-up, throughout his illness.  He spoke with kindness and humor to his caregivers at Newark-Wayne Hospital, and was very grateful to the doctor's and nurses who lovingly and professionally went above and beyond with kindness, care, and smiles.  He married his high school sweetheart, Sharon, and she was the joy of his life.  He was a hard worker, good husband, good father, good grandfather, and a good friend.  He is singing once again and is dearly missed.
