Larry was very passionate about his family. His love for his family was undeniable and it showed. There was not a thing he wouldn't do for anyone.

He fought right up until the end and was taken from us way too soon. Dad, there is not a moment or day that will go by without you being in our thoughts. You were the very best anyone of us could have ever asked for. We all love and miss you so much!

We would like to thank the staff at Sutter Lakeside Hospital and Rocky Point Care Facility for all their help, support and compassion during his last challenging weeks. We really appreciate all you did for our Dad.

Per his request, there will be no services. A celebration of life will be held at a later date for family and friends.
