His talents as an accountant and advisor will be greatly missed. Larry was a husband and father whose family meant the world to him, which lead him to balance the love of work and the many hours of volunteering that he gave to all. One of his pleasures in life was helping raise guide dogs puppies for the blind. He helped raise 7 puppies, He loved all animals and they knew it. Larry will be dearly missed by all that knew him. He left this world a better place. In lieu of flowers he would want donations to help raise a pup, and change a life! Go to or mail: Phoenix Guide Dog Raisers, P.O.
