With the few memories I have of Grandpa one of my favorites was when he saw anyone he always smiled and once he didn't see me and he was looking out the window of the weatherly and it was a rainy day and at that time he wasn't doing so well but he was still just smiling absorbing the beauty even when it was rainy and he was going through a hard time he just saw beauty.
Larry was always one of the best customers an sawmill could have. He was much more than an customer, a friend, advisor for products and a real team player. One of the best men I have had the pleasure to meet in the sometimes trying lumber business. One story has always stuck with me - a new car, a big dog, bank visit and torn up upholstery. Even with this devestation, Larry still had that great sence of humor. What an great husband, father, grandfather and community leader. Always looking for the better way for everyone. Was an priveledge to cros your path. Gary Knight
We remember Larry's dazzling smile. Even as life was being cruel he would be on the driving range at deAnza hitting buckets of balls or taking a golf lesson. You both had the right attitude while facing tough times. Please know that we're thinking of you Natalie and send our love and condolences.

Larry and I shared our views on managing Weyerhaeuser as we car pooled to work a good many years ago. He was always positive and great to be with that hald hour or so. A fine man who led a productive and meaningful life. Happy to have known him. My condolences.Russ Bucklew
Hi Nat,
My thoughts and prayers are with you all. And daughters Pam and Brooke share my sentiments. They still remember your family from Chappaqua. You know that boarding schools can be sometimes cruel places especially when you're new and my first memories of Larry are that he was always kind and welcoming to us new guys. And what a sly sense of humor had he! I miss him and regret that we could not see each more over the years. When you two didn't make it to our last reunion I didn't go either. I tried to reach you thru SG but the number and email seemed old so let me give you mine now. Email: [email protected]

Address: 3 Stoneleigh Knoll, Old Lyme CT 06371.
Let me know if you have a memorial service in Tiverton.
All my love to you, Nat.

Larry was a very special man and served on the Lakewood Chamber Board of Directors while I was the executive director. He was a productive member of the board and contributed to the community in everything he did. I was happy to endorse his election to replace me on the city council when I moved to Winthrop. He and all the family will be in my prayers. Natalie I send my love to you, God Bless !
