One of Larry’s favorite friends was his Brittany Tuffy. For 17 years they were inseparable, walking the desert or bird hunting.
Larry will be missed by his family, friends, and his home caretakers. We are very thankful for La Vitz Bella Home Care, Compasses and the VA Hospice for their love and kindness.
