Larry was the one of the best co workers I’ve ever had. We worked together as co managers at the UPS Store over the last year, and we crushed it together. We made such a good team, him and I. Larry quickly became a reason to look forward to every day. I don’t know how I could have done it without his help. Anytime I needed something- he was the first person I went to. With everything happening, it’s taken me a few times to stop myself and realize I can’t text you and update you. Thank you for everything you’ve taught me. I will miss seeing your bright smile, and hearing you tell me all your funny stories about your beloved pups, and lovely wife. You loved your life and everyone in it. Things will be much, much harder without you. I know you never liked letting your team down. And you never did. We are so thankful for everything you’ve done for us. I’ll think about you every day I’m there, and then some.
