If I could have chosen a brother-in-law in this life it would have been Larry (hands down)! Mark and Larry were best friends and were in the same grade throughout high school. I will never forget the many bbq's, special events, celebrations, and parties spent with Larry. Our daughter's loved their Uncle Larry, and Larry was kind enough to go along with our oldest daughter, Shannon for her 21st birthday in a limousine we rented. I believe he celebrated that evening like a rock star, and we thought we were sending her with a responsible adult, haha! Everyone who knew Larry, loved him dearly. He never had a bad word to say about anyone, and his smile lightened up any room! His daughter's, Samone and Janette are the most awesome ladies you would ever hope to meet in this life, and Larry loved them dearly as well as their children, his grandchildren who meant the world to him. Larry, waited patiently for many years for a kidney transplant burdened with cystic kidneys that was passed down through the family genes. He was on dialysis for many years and with the ability to go portable he was able to continue enjoying his passions of fishing and hunting until his untimely death. As any of his close friends, relatives, and the wonderful customers he served in this area would have known Larry would have given anything for a second chance and transplant to be able to spend more quality time with his loved ones. Larry's best friend Scott and his wife Cindi were angels in disguise, and stood by his bedside until he closed his eyes for the last time. Scott enjoyed hunting and fishing with Larry along with spending his time enjoying each other's company for many years barbequing, and telling jokes. Larry had a great sense of humor, and he will be greatly missed by his family, friends, and the customers who remember what a wonderful human being he was and the kind heart that he shared with everyone! Love you Larry, and we will see you again in Heaven! May 28, 2013 I will miss you always my dearest brother in law who I adore and admire as my own brother, Kathy Goularte xoxoxoxoxo
