As we bid adieu to Larry's earthly form, let us not dwell on the void left in his wake, but rather celebrate the legacy of love and inspiration Larry has bequeathed us. For though he may have departed from our sight, his spirit remains a timeless beacon, guiding loved ones through the labyrinth of life's journey.
He was predeceased by: his granddaughter Audrey; and his parents, Glen Dale Purvis and Thelma Peak. He is survived by: his daughter Rebecca Mally (Erick); and his grandson Jacob Mally of Cedar Rapids.
Parkinson's Disease forced Larry into early retirement, but he never complained of the disease, preferring to spend his retirement gardening, watching movies, and providing music to his neighbors at Hallmark.
