I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of Larry "Fletch". I only meet Fletch once but it was wonderful meeting him. I wish I had gotten to know him better. I've heard so many wonderful stories, he brought so much joy to everyone that he meet.

Mary Santiloni says
I was so very sad to hear the news. My husband, Joe Santiloni (who passed last year) and Larry, were good friends. They shared a lot of laughs, jokes, music and dance. I’m sure Joe was there to greet Larry with a shot,song and dance… and they are probably smiling down on us.
Loved ones may be gone from sight, but they remain in our hearts forever!
The Onosko Family says
Our thoughts and prayers go out to your family during this most difficult of times. “Fletch” worked for my Father, Ed, at Tri Clover. I knew him form our days at Parkside and beyond. He will be sadly missed.

Jeff Funderburg says
Sometimes we get so busy, we just lose touch with important things and people. I grew up in the neighborhood and like all young boys, looking up to the older guys with respect and admiration.
Larry, Clevis Frankly, John Mo’, Butch Ivy and many others were real influences in my life and they were always looking out for us little guys.
I’m sorry to realize that I wasn’t able to express my condolences sooner, but wanted to send love to the Fletchers just the same.
