I'm still at a loss for words with all of this right now and maybe that's why I haven't posted anything regarding this yet. He was an amazing person and an even better dad. I couldn't have asked for a better role model growing up. I don't know where I would be without him in my life. He opened his heart to me and always made me feel like I was his own. He coached my football teams growing up and guided me in the right direction as a father would. I wish this was all a dream not only for my sake but for my daughter Sophia as well. Sophia being his one and only grandchild brought him so much happiness. She was the love of his life, they were inseparable together. They adored each other's company like you couldn't believe. I wish they had more time together. It kills me knowing their memories stop here but I promise you Lar you will never be forgotten I will continue to show Sophia pictures of you and make sure she never forgets who her one and only "POPPY" is! Thank you for being there for me and my family(Riane & Sophia). Most importantly thank you for being my dad! Rest Easy Lar! Till we meet again.
Although I cannot make it today to pay my respects I wanted to do it on here. Larry was a great guy and always was extremely respectful and kinda and warm welcoming. I wanted to thank you Larry for being so good to my daughter Riane and my granddaughter Sophia. You truly will be missed.
My condolences to Cheryl Anthony Dylan Joey and Daniel. My heart weighs heavy for you all. Cheryl if you need anything at all I'm a phone call away. Anthony I love you and ive been thinking of you.
We will never let sophia forget about her Poppy.
Sincerely,
Linda Jungblut and Joelle Jungblut

I will always remember Larrys one of a kind laugh.He was on of the young guns in the neighborhood of Swedes Run in the early years.I don't think there was ever a time he didn't smile or let out his one of a kind laugh.He turned out to be a true gentleman and great friend to so many people. Rest In Peace my friend.💔

Larry I am going to miss you. You were a great role model for my nephew Anthony and to my niece Sophia. I wanted to just thank you for all that you did for Anthony growing up and for guiding him, and for always having the best intentions for him. The way you loved Sophia was remarkable and so special and for that you will always hold a special place in my heart. You were such a good guy, always trying to help me and my mother with our car troubles. Always respectful to the both of us and never hesitated in doing so. Rest peacefully Larry. You will truly be missed.
Larry was the grandfather to my precious little girl, Sophia. To see the bond they had was truly special and memorable. He spoiled her with gifts and love on a daily basis. Everytime Larry went shopping for whatever reason, he always came home with something special for sophia and was so proud to have the honor of doing so. From baby clothes to toddler clothes, I must say he had pretty good taste being he was a grandfather. He cherished every moment he had with her and he never took one second he had with for granted. I am truly thankful for all that he has done for my child, myself, and for Anthony. Larry and I had the chance to really bond on a father in law/daughter in law kinda way and I am thankful for all the one on one conversations we would have, all the odd jobs Larry always did he would ask me if I wanted to make a few extra bucks lol, he taught me how to make his famous stromboli many times (any one who knows me knows I have to ask 100 times if I'm doing it right lol) and I will miss the Sunday dinners we had as a family and most definitely miss his Stromboli. Many times when I was having troubles, whether it was family or job issues even troubles with our landlord he was the first one to be my voice of reason and stand up for Anthony and I when we were starting our journey together as a family and learning the ropes of it all. He would always remind me how important family is and too never give up on family. So thank you Larry for All that you were able to teach me in the time we had with one another and I will be sure to remind Sophia how much you loved her and all that you did for her. Your memory will live on ..
Larry was a man with a huge, giving, heart. His smile was contagious to anyone around him. It's sad to think that I'll never go to work and see him again, scratching away at his lottery tickets. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones. He will be forever missed and never forgotten. Rest In Peace Larry.
