First I’d like to give my condolensces for the the passing Larry. He was my first boss when I worked at JI Case as a high school co-op in 1979. I’ll always remember his smile and sense of humor (teasing). It was an honor to work with him.
Prayers to all.

Jean & family: I am sorry to read in the Monroe paper of Larry’s passing. I became acquainted with Larry and you many years back at the bank I worked at then. I have since moved on to another in the area but have fond memories of calling and talking over interest rates as well as talking about Monroe too. Enjoyed talking to Larry and appreciated his wisdom. I can hear him chuckling now. May he rest in Peace. Sincerely, Jean (Monaghan) Sinkule
