I am an Architect, and I worked with Larry at RTA in Cleveland Ohio. Larry and I became good friends and I found him to be one of the nicest people I know. I am sure that he will be missed by everyone.God bless him.

As you all know Larry and Dominic were life long friends. My heart aches for all of you so very much. I wish there were words I could say to make things better. I know there is not. I will take some comfort knowing that the both of them have been reunited in Heaven and know they will always watch over all of us. Rest in Peace my Dear Friend!🙏🙏🙏 Please give Dominic a Big Hug and Kiss when you see him. Please Sue if you need anything at all I am always here. Just like Larry was for me!
Sue, I am so sorry for your loose. Please know, I greatly enjoyed getting to know Larry during those days and was most grateful for his friendship. I will never forget his graciousness when he took me down to Dayton to the Air Force Museum. That was a great day made even better when touring the museum with him as my guide.
