It's hard to share the"fondest" memory because every memory of Larry was fond. I remember he and MaryAnn coming to see me in the hospital and I was so touch that he came also. Then when I got out I was too weak to do anything. One day they were visiting and wanted to do something for me. I said great, you can make up my bed. So here they go, putting clean sheets on, and what a hoot, listening to MaryAnn telling Larry how to make the bed. The one thing that really touched me was when our group would go out to eat. When we'd all leave and Norb was paying the bill, Larry would always lag behind to make sure I didn't need help.
And not so much a memory but an admiration of how he and MaryAnn gave so many years to Meals On Wheels. As I said, every memory, and so many there are, will forever be in the hearts of Norb and I. Many prayers for MaryAnn, Kathy, John, grandchildren, and extended family❣️
Norb loved his sense of humor, his kindness, said he was a true friend. He loved the Sat. nights Larry would "escape" the domino games to go watch football with him. It was a standing joke for awhile; "Hea where's Larry?" "Oh he's over at Norb's watching football."
