Larry will always be one of the kindest people I have ever known. His love and loyalty to his family was unfaltering. His generosity was boundless. His heart was full of joy for others and his integrity was unquestionable. Larry Price, you salty old guy, you will be loved immeasurably and missed fiercely for as long as there are souls who were touched by your glow. Thank you for touching my life.
