Larry was a graduate of Chicago Vocational High School.  He was a veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps and a retired employee of Sears.  Larry was an avid Cubs fan, Jeopardy enthusiast, long time Tribune reader, crossword extraordinaire, enjoyed traveling in his retirement and maintaining his perfectly manicured yard.  Family meant the world to Larry and he always said his family was the greatest gift in life, and that he was so lucky to have met his wife Donna.  Larry was a special man and loved by all, whether you were family, an old friend, a new friend or a passerby. He always found time to strike up a conversation with his humor.  He will be truly missed. In lieu of flowers please consider a contribution to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
