My best friend has passed away. Larry suffered with heart disease for a long time. He was a wonderful husband and I will miss him all the days of my life.

Larry loved working for the Fulton-Marshall Co. Co-Op and gardening. He also loved IU basketball and the Green Bay Packers.

He also enjoyed sitting at the kitchen table, with his best buddy Ichabod the cat, to drink coffee and play Nintendo DS every morning. It was a sight to see.
