    I was so sorry to learn today of Larry’s passing. He and I were college classmates (Dominican College, Racine WI, Class of ’67). I remember that he was class president our sophomore year at Dominican College and president of Epsilon Alpha Delta. Larry was also chairman of the Student Development Board at DC and he won the outstanding senior award for participation in extra-curricular activities. Of course, Larry did not mention that in the obituary he wrote, because he was a modest guy! In 2006, prior to a DC ’67 school reunion, I found Larry and called him. Enjoyed our conversation, but unfortunately, he was not able to attend the reunion. A good hearted man, gone too soon. Rest in peace, Larry.

    Just seeing this. I’m so sorry for your loss. I enjoyed working with Larry in PT at home. He was indeed one of my favorite people to see. We had a lot of laughs. My sincere condolences

    Barb and family. So sorry to read of Larry’s passing. He was a great guy and always willing to help out my Mom after my dad passed. We had some good laughs while working together at WNG. Sending sympathies

Testimonials

December 19, 2016

I can’t say enough good things about Michael and his staff. They go above and beyond what is required of a funeral home. He has always met my desires and goes beyond what I ask. He always makes it a little more special. He has blessed me and my family many times and comforted us when we are aching because of our loss. I am always confident that he will do his very best, and he always has.
Thank you Michael and staff. May you all have a Blessed Christmas season and New Year

Julie Weyhrauch
