    For many years, we have enjoyed chatting with Larry as we walked our Terriers on our neighborhood sidewalks. He and Joy would stop to give our pups a pat and catch up on neighborhood happenings. We will truly miss seeing Larry on his neighborhood walks but hope that he is now reunited with his beloved Joy. Blessed be.

  • Kevin McClure

    Larry, I never met your father, but you clearly learned your management skills from the best. Life is precious. Thinking of you my friend.

  • Leanne Davis

    I wish to extend My deepest sympathies to the Mcclain family.
