    • Hi! I’m Danyell, Larry’s youngest daughter. Your name actually came up quite a bit in stories – do you have any pictures or anything from back then? Please reach out to me! My email is dmdewittdasilva@gmail.com

  2. One of my favorite memories of Larry was January 1967. Larry was home on leave from thr Navy and my third baby (Tami) was hospitalized with pneumonia. I wanted to stay at the hospital with her but I had 2 little ones at home (Tina & Jimmy). Larry gave up 5 days of his leave to come and stay with them. I never forgot his love and kindness. He was one great guy and will be missed!!!

  3. Mary and girls, although we can’t be there in person, we are keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers. We were very blessed to be with you and Larry at the end and will cherish our memories of you and our time together always. Love you all. Thank you all for your great hospitality. We will never forget it.
    Love,
    Suzy
