We spent many a day at Coastal Airport in Beulah, coordinating glider flights for the Coastal Soaring Association. RIP Larry.
Larry was a wonderful husband and father, he remained Mary's "wing man" through and through. We are saddened by his loss, but honored to have cared for him. His sense of humor brought smiles to everyone around him, always having a great joke or witty comeback, his company was definitely unique! He will always remain in our hearts and we will miss him dearly.
With Love,
Jessica and Ana
Larry was a kind and gentle man. A man of few words. When Mary
was so sick in NY, she said that he never left her side. When they
were transferred back to their home in Pensacola, he continued
to do everything that he could do to help her get better. After Mary
was able to be left alone, He returned to his second love: going
to the airport every morning. He would return home by late morning
to take Mary out for lunch. Larry's love for Mary was an example on
how to live life. We miss you Larry. RIP Larry! We love you Mary.
With all of our love,
Daniel and Sandy Pyritz

I always enjoyed being around Larry. And not that he needed to show the world what kind of a man he was he sure did by his devotion to Mary after her illness. He is another patch in the quilt that makes up my life.
Love to Mary

I value the friendship that I have had with Mary and Larry. I have had so much fun playing pool with Larry and Mary keeping score for several of us playing. Wish we could do it again and it will always be in my memories! He was so funny at times and had us all laughing! Mary, I love both of you and treasure you’re friendship. ❤️
I’m so sorry to hear of Larry’s death. Although I never flew with him, I know he was a great aviator. I send my deepest condolences.
Please know I'm thinking of you.
