Dear Family of Larry! My Condolences go out to your family. He truly was a good guy and will always be remembered that way in the "dialysis world." He always had a smile and a good laugh handy despite is chronic medical conditions he delt with everyday. He was always willing to share his hard candies or let us scratch off his lottery tickets. :)My coworkers and I agree we will never forget him. May he RIP and your family be at peace knowing he's in heaven. God bless you all through this holiday season!Angie

To Larrys' Family...I was shocked to hear of Larrys' passing. We sure had some great times in high school, or whenever we saw each other...what a character! I will carry a smile whenever I think of him and know that now he is with other Loved Ones.

The DeMarino Family, I knew Larry all the way back to Grant Elementary School, he was always able to find laughter in almost any situation. Larry knew that life was part up and part down but always pushed on. I had the enjoyment of knowing Larry and Frank who are right now reunited and are sharing a laugh over a story never shared before. Both were above average athletes and enjoyed the competition of sports. My thoughts are with the DeMarino family at this time and hope that Larry finds peace this day forward...God Bless
