Condolence: My sincere and deepest condolences to Sue Ann and to the entire family; your loss is also my loss. I met Larry when I created the former Museum of Funeral Customs in Springfield, and his support for our work and his willingness to teach ensured that our curator and I could properly understand and present Jewish funeral rituals to museum visitors in an authorative way. His PR experience was invaluable as we sought to promote the facility devoted to his profession. Despite the museum's closing in 2008, Larry and I remained in contact as I moved to the position of cemetery manager and to my current position as a non-profit organization leader. Whenever I've presented educational programs in the Chicago area, Larry was in the audience with a huge smile, taking photos and offering kudos and encouragement. He was a true friend and mentor, and my life was enriched having known him for sixteen years. He will be sorely missed. Rest in Peace, dear friend.

Condolence: Larry was a very nice man! My sincerest condolences to his family.

Condolence: Our hearts go out to Sue and the family on the great loss that they must feel.

I was too much older than Larry to really get to know him while we were growing up.

But after we were older, and I had moved from Chicago, we were able to get closer, and I had made it a priority to see him on my recent visits to Chicago.

He never failed to have a big smile and a cheery welcome. Always something to look forward to.

You will be missed cuz.

Condolence: Sue Ann everytime Larry spoke about you it was obvious how much
he loved you and your life together. He couldn't wait for your vacation to Hawaii in June. Just before you left Larry made sure every detail was taken care of while holding my hand in preparation of my husband's funeral in Wisconsin after passing away here in Illinois. It was his thoughtfulness and love for the people he worked with at the most difficult moments that endeared you to Larry. The love and support you gave Larry while he recuperated from his surgeries showed all who know the 2 of you the deep love and respect you shared. I will miss Larry and I will always remember
his kindness. I am here for you to hold your hand.
Sending love to you, your children and your entire family.

Condolence: It is with much sadness and a heavy heart that I write these words. I still don't want to believe that Larry is gone. I worked with Larry at Pisers for many years. I thought of him not only as a friend and Co worker but he's was like a second Dad to me. He always looked out for me and was always available for a pep talk words of wisdom encouragement a great big hug or a helping hand. He was a great person to be around and I enjoyed listening to his stories about his life, family, accomplishments, travels and history. Larry was a walking encyclopedia. But most of all he loved people. He loved the interactions of people and dealing with people. Larry use to call himself the cruise director and he say just relax and let the cruise director handle it. I will miss him immensely and will never forget his kindness and his caring heart and passion for perfection. My heart goes out to his family at this very difficult time.

Condolence: Such sad news. A man with a big, caring heart who looked out, counseled and consoled so many in our community. My sympathy to the family.

Condolence: We were so sorry to hear of Larry's passing. Our sincere sympathy to your entire family.

Condolence: My deepest sympathy to all who know and love Larry. I always look forward to seeing him each year at the IFDA convention. He is one of my favorite members and one of the most pleasant persons I've ever met. He will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you all as you mourn his loss.

Condolence: Larry was a mench and he will always be remembered with a smile on his face. May his memory be of a blessing.

Condolence: Sue Ann:
Our deepest and most heartfelt condolences to you and your family.
