To the Weiss family, I remember Larry well years ago in Bethlehem and when he did cycle repairs at his home. He was a great guy, always willing and wanting to help anyone needing help. I saw him a few times at his shop and I will never forget him.

Now God has someone to fix his Triumph and BSA's.

God rest his soul.

Lil, Carrie, Adam, and family,

It's not very often in life you come across a person who does so much for others and never asks for anything in return. I know of two, my dad and Larry. Larry will be missed tremendously. He is free of all his pain and I'm sure watching over everyone. I know when the Buxmont show season starts we'll be able to hear him cheering Carrie and Jane on.

Lil and Carrie, I have a lot of good memories of Larry . We had a lot of fun Team Penning at Haycock Stables and Up in Easton. It was a weekly thing and we all got to be good friends. I enjoyed watching Larry and Carrie at Buxmont shows. Carol Cupchak

Lil and Family, This has been a great loss to everyone who knew Larry. He has impacted everyones lives that he was around in some way or another. I remember the first time I met Larry and your family at the farm with Markie. You all welcomed me into your hearts and home like I was a member of the family. Larry was a great inspiration to me to overcome some of the fears I had of riding horses, snowmobiles and a bull (Yank). I will remember all the good times we had during picnics, holidays and also hay season. This man has taught me so much in the short time I knew him that he will always hold a spot in my heart. I hope to someday teach Cheyenne some things that Larry (Pap) taught me so she knows what a wonderful man he was and wish she would have grown up to know and love as Markie and I did. You are in our prayers and we are there for you and your family if you need anything just call us. Love, Krystal Hart, Mark Gioielli and Cheyenne Gioielli
