I spent a week with my sister Bev Hendrickson last year and enjoyed company with Larry for an outdoor concert in Fenville and dinner. I noticed Larry was very frugal and was very dedicated to his causes.. Like my daughters he loved horses and life itself. My thoughts and prayers go out to him, his family and my sister for having cared and supported him in the good times and the bad. He will leave an empty place that will never be filled.

Dick and family, I am so sorry to hear about Larry. He will surely be missed.
I talked to Larry at my brother’s funeral. He was a longtime friend and neighbor to my brother. After my brother’s death Larry helped my sister-in-law take care of my brother’s last horse. He cleaned the stable and took the horse to be sold at auction for her. My prayers and thoughts are with you.
