Dearest Kathie and Family;

Yesterday, my son told me  Larry has passed away. 

There are no words I could say that would take the pain and sadness away.
I'm sorry Larry is gone from your presence. But Im so thankful, knowing he is with the Lord.

Larry is a very special man, known and loved by so many, including our family. 
No one but the Lord will ever know the extent of influence, love, kindness and compassion Larry had for people, and the difference he made in.people's lives, and for the Lord.

Without you, Kathie and Larry, God only knows what would have happened to me and my children. 
You and Larry's love, compassion, mercy, kindness and help, became solid pillars of strength and hope that helped me to keep going and became part of my strong foundation. Thank You.

We will be together forever, when the Lord says it's time.
Till then, I pray your love, memories and hope in looking forward to being together again, will comfort you, 

Hold Larry's legacy close in each person whose lives he touched, influenced, changed, by his example. 
He still, is a great man of God.
And you will be together again!

With Love and Appreciation,

Cindy Binno




Larry was there for me as a guide, and a kind ear, when I was a young man. When I was a teenager I would ride my bike to the muffler shop and just hang out and watch and ask questions. He was so patient with me and answered them all. He didn’t mind if I poked around in his stash of parts and asked questions about them too.  As I got older I moved around the corner of the shop and would always stop and talk. He always had a smile and a kind word and was the go to man to talk about what to do to make my cars fast and sound good. He was also a spiritual guide to me in a real, non-religious way. He always had wisdom to share with me, and I believe it made me a better man today. He will be missed, but will live on in everyone who's lives he touched, as I have passed the wisdom he gave me through the years to my sons. Bless the Kimball family and help them through this rough time but find comfort knowing Larry is with the Lord.

Bro. Kimball was an example how Christian should be like. He has a beautiful family a faithful man to his wife and family but most of all
He was faith to his God and he loved the people of God. He was a soul winner. And everyone had always good things to say about him. Bro. Kimball your an inspiration to my heart and will miss you and thank you for putting up with me. May God’s grace be upon the Kimballs
 

The year was 1973, that I went to work at Jerauld's Muffler Service in National City. I met the crew , including this "Long Haired" young guy they called "Hair Fire". Larry had such a gift. He was not only a superb craftsman, but a nice person. Now, fast forward to 1985. I was going to start my own business, and the only person I offered a partnership to was, Larry. It was a gamble, and Larry could not take the chance. I trusted him that much. Larry and I have remained great friends for all these years, and I never expected my friend, your father, your grandfather, of that beloved husband to the love of his life, Kathy, would be in the Hands of God.
See you soon, my friend. Ed Hanson

I met Larry in the 80’s when I worked for Ed Hanson’s. He was kind, easy going, humble, and God loving .  He was Jack to me since there was two Larry’s working there at Jacks Muffler. 

Great man… one of a kind. My deepest condolences to his beautiful wife and  family.  May he rest in eternal peace.

Larry was one of the kindest people that my brother and I ever knew.  Always a smile.  We met Larry 20 years ago while he ran the muffler shop.  Who knew that stopping up to ask for a small part would end up in a such a long standing friendship?  We were saddened to hear of his passing and we do want to pass on our condolences to Larry's entire family.   Hugs!
