So sorry to hear of the passing of Larry. He was a true gentleman. I recall you taking several people from Michigan National Bank out to GH for an evening in the motorhome. Larry was so gracious when he learned that some of us had smoked cigarettes in the motor home and thoroughly stunk it up. For that I am sorry. Now that I'm a nonsmoker that would have made my blood boil. I hope this finds you well, Donna. Thinking of you.

One of my favorite memories, was when Uncle Larry, and Aunt Donna came to my Father's (Larry's brother Harold) house for thanksgiving. My father had just moved to Spruce Creek in Florida. In the picture I uploaded, you can see Uncle Larry laughing at Aunt Donna and I, while we attempted to make mashed potatoes in a blender. (My father had just about everything when he moved in, except for a beater)!! By the way, I don't recommend using this method, as I recall they came out like glue! Love you Aunt Donna, Pam, and Kirt. We look forward to seeing you at Uncle Larry's memorial. He was such a kind and gentle soul. Uncle Larry always reminded me so much, of my Grandpa Harold (Larry's Father). LOVE, Diane Swarthout Galliers
Uncle Larry’s electric drapes in the Portland house sure caught my attention. I was in elementary school in the 60’s thinking, wow, I am related to an inventor. Also, I remember fun times racing my brother on Uncle Larry’s wall to wall basement race track. It was huge. But the best memory Uncle Larry gave me was when I was in High School. He took me water skiing, behind his yacht on Lake Michigan. The water was as smooth as glass while God’s most gorgeous arrangement of colors were painted in the sky and reflecting off the water as I was skiing into the sunset 🌅. Thank you Uncle Larry and I’ll see you in Heaven, love Connie.
Donna and family. So sorry to hear of Larry’s passing.It took me a long time to get his vibe. He really wasn’t quiet and somber at all. Such a nice man! Donna i have missed seeing so many customers in my retirement. Will never forget you two. I wish you the best on your new journey without the love of your life. Peace to you! Marie Fricano Laning
