Larry was one of the kindest and caring person I have known. He was a great neighbor and always there for my daughter, granddaughter (who called him Pawpaw) and myself. He was family to us and his smiles, jokes and words of wisdom will be in our hearts forever. Fly high and race fast Larry! You have been dearly missed on Isle of Wight.
