Larry had a special gift for expressing his feelings in poetic word.  Some of the many feelings he put to paper were published in his book " Reflection" in 2006. He was a talented, self- taught guitar player and put many of his lyrics to beautiful music and song.  His sense of humor helped to soften even the most difficult circumstances.  He was a gentle soul that touched countless lives with his ability to connect with everyone he met, meet them where they are and provide words of comfort and encouragement without judgement.

Larry always felt his greatest achievement to be the love of his family.

AS THE DAY BEGAN

The golden sky reached down And gently kissed the ground Clouds of pink and white A breath-taking sight

Mirrored on the lake Majestic mountains formed the gate Sparkling diamonds on the blue The sky took on a scarlet hue

A rainbow of color fills our eyes The masterpiece created at sunrise The radiance of the colors bright Have all but chased away the night

The fiery sun Forcing the shadows to run A painting of the new days bliss Veiled within the morning mist
