What awesome person Larry was. Sure going to miss him at College Pines and him asking about my dogs. RIP
Larry and my late husband-Driver roomed together at College Pines from September-December 2021 and they become great friends. They shared many happy days together and I visited everyday and got to know him and helped celebrate his birthday and Christmas. He was kind hearted and soft spoken and always left you with a kind word and I’ll see you tomorrow!!! I’m glad my husband had a good man to room with and always had a story of some kind to share. I’ll treasure the memories we shared and be thankful he passed our way. Prayers to the family.
