  8. I grew up on the other end of Golf Ave and have very fond memories of in my late teens when Larry came over visiting and sitting around the kitchen table with my sister Gail and friend, Maureen, having coffee and playing cards. Larry was a kind, caring and very enjoyable friend. May he RIP.

  9. I’m sad to hear of his passing. My sister Sue and I loved the times he spent with us laughing and joking. He would plow our driveway in the winter on his way home, and was a good friend and neighbor. RIP Larry.

  11. My condolences to the family. Very sorry to hear of Larry’s recent passing. I have known Larry going back to our high school days. He was a great guy with a cool sense of humor. We were all into high performance muscle cars in the 60s an d 70s. He owned a beautiful 1969 light brown Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396 / 375 HP. You could hear it coming from a block or two away! Larry will be sorely missed. RIP my Friend!

  12. We were shocked to hear of Larry’s passing. Many years ago, I met Larry at Pittsford Auto Service as Larry dropped in daily for his coffee and to converse with staff and customers.

    We hired Larry to do our driveway snow plowing and his services became legendary. He did not believe in annual contracts, would always proactively plow all winter at the right time and did not bill us until late summer. He was absolutely the best!!

    I will always remember that whenever I called Larry, he would never answer the phone. Then two seconds later, he’d call me back and start off asking “Who’s this?”, which always made me laugh.

    It was always a joy to run into Larry at Pittsford Auto or around town. To say that Larry always had interesting stories and perspectives, is an understatement.

    Larry was a great guy who will be sorely missed by us and many others. Our sincere condolences to his family and friends.
