My prayers and deepest sympathy are with Larry’s family. I was an old (Catholic School) classmate of Larry. I always remember him to be such a character, as was his sister Janet. Must have run in the family. God bless the whole family.

My prayers are going out to all of Larry’s family. I also was one of his classmates from Helena Central and then Helena High. We had many memories from the ‘good old days’ of Catholic School!! God Bless all of you ~ ~ ~

Mary Pat Dutton says
I also was a classmate of Larry’s going all the way back to St. Mary’s grade school. Larry was a good guy who kept everyone laughing and gave the Sisters a few gray hairs. I suspect Sr. Mary Winifred was waiting at the Gates of Heaven to welcome Larry home.
Rebekka Dodge says
Larry lived in our neighborhood and waited at our bus stop to catch the bus to St. Mary’s School on the corner of Columbia Ave. with his two sisters. I always remember him as a nice guy. Those were wonderful days of innocence and I am sad to know he is no longer with us.
