    Larry was a great friend and always was a great riding partner. He will be missed by all of his brothers and sisters who rode with him. It’s a sad time for all and I wish to offer my sincere condolences to Carol who will feel the pain and loss most intensely.

    Carol and family, Linda and I offer our most sincere condolences on Larry’s passing. I always enjoyed our conversations on our various projects, and I respected his vast knowledge on many subjects. He was a pleasure to ride with on the many rides I was on with him. I will always remember walking down the main street in Sturgis, South Dakota with about 100,00 other people and seeing two smiling faces coming towards me. It was Larry and Sags. We all had a good laugh and made a tour of the downtown for the rest of the afternoon. Good times and great memories!
    Again, Carol, our deepest and most sincere condolences, and until we all meet again on that great poker run in the sky, may you Rest in Peace Larry.

    Condolences to Carol and family. Larry will be missed by many, such a wonderful person, neighbor and friend to many. May he rest in peace.

    I didn’t know Larry as long as some but the times my wife and I spent with him riding Harleys and camping with him will always be remembered RIP Larry keep those Harleys in tune up there until we meet again

    Dear Carol, Les, Lorraine, LeeAnn, Lisa and Families,
    We were saddened to hear about Larry’s unexpected death. This is such a difficult loss for all of you to bear. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this very sad time.

    It was just shocking and heartbreaking to hear of Larry’s sudden passing. Many years ago we (Mike Maniaci and I) were his neighbors in Stonington. I have many fond memories of all the beach parties and midnight saunas we all used to have out there. Larry was a good friend and an incredible gunsmith. He will be missed. I think Larry and Mike are enjoying talking guns again! Sending my sincere condolences to the Stock family.
