To the family of Larry….I would like to extend my deepest sympathies to you all. I worked for Larry and Aaron at both Big Boy sites for seven years! Larry was one of the kindest, respectful and generous bosses I have ever had. He was very involved in the day to day running of the business and always had a kind word for his employees. This year it will be 30 years since I’ve worked there, and as close as a year ago, I would see Larry out in a store or at the casino; he would always stop to chat and always knew my name! I’m sure he will be greatly missed by many! Soar high with the angels Larry, and enjoy that never-ending stogie in Heaven! Xoxo

My first real job was working for Larry and his brothers at the Esky,Iron Mtn. an Kingsford Big Boys. Larry was always top notch an treated me great. I will always remember him walking a 100 miles an hour between the Fair Store an the Big Boy with his stogie. Many good memories. Sorry to read his passing. Condolences to the family.
