Many, many, many of you knew Larry as a regular presence at the shop for the last 13 or so years. He's been the artist who paints the windows, makes bird houses, crafts custom foamboard displays, always willing to help anyone with anything, and so much more. He's also always had a smile on his face. And it's a contagious one. Perhaps he cracked himself up even more than others! But that self-assurance and quick wit made him so lovable, and beloved.
Years and years of health troubles seemingly could not derail him. We all started to wonder if he was invincible! He's quite possibly the toughest son of a gun we've ever known. He took life's punches like a heavyweight champ and fought back until it had gone the full 12 rounds. Today, life finally won the battle, and Larry's fight is over. He went down fighting so hard, as he always had.
Please keep his daughter, Mandy, and her 2 children (Larry's cherished grandkids) in your prayers. He was a hero to them, and to others. His loss will be felt for a long time, as his life reached so many.
There will be a celebration of his life soon. We will post details here as soon as we know them. Thank you all for loving Larry, and for keeping his family in your prayers. ❤️💙
