In his early priestly life, Fr. Larry was a chaplain at Bishop Miege. He was good to talk with, and I am grateful for his advice in those days. My condolences to all of his family. May he rest always in God's peace!

Fr. Larry was a wonderful person. He would visit our home in Lawrence when he was a co-pastor there in the '70's. We enjoyed knowing him. We knew his parents also. They were very devote Catholics. May God bless him for all the work he did for our parish.
