Larry had a love for animals. All of his dogs were rescued from shelters or abusive situations.

He was also passionate about nature conservation and historical preservation.

In lieu of flowers; he would have preferred donations made to your local ‘no-kill’ animal rescue shelters, ‘St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital’, or Nature or historic landmark preservation.

As he embarks on his final road trip, we will cherish the memories and the great times we shared with him. He will be greatly missed.
