Larry was an avid runner and sportsman.  He enjoyed games like Scrabble that challenged his intelligence & extensive vocabulary. He loved tearing down and rebuilding computers and collecting many things, anything billiard related and music of many genres.

Larry was a sweet and kind-hearted gentleman with a very sharp analytical mind, He was a great conversationalist and active listener. His ability to recall previous conversations and ask to follow up questions showed his concern and compassion for others. He was forever gathering data, but never stood in judgement. His love of family, sense of humor and quick wit will be greatly missed.

    Larry will always be loved and remembered by the Romo family. The loving and fun times we all shared will forever be in our hearts. Larry was very special to me and my sons, Trey and Kristofer. He helped shape their lives and made wonderful memories for them to hold in their hearts. He was my love and my best friend and we do love him… still ❤️?

    Condolences to the Moscarelli family. Thank you for embracing us in the family; we are forever grateful. May Larry rest in heavenly peace.

    Forest Lawn Funeral Home has been by our side as we have laid some of our family members to rest. They made the difficult planning as easy on us as they could.
    All the arrangements for both the funeral services and the burials were well staffed and beautiful. The Darst family knows how important compassion is at those difficult times in our lives. That’s why we trust them to be there for us when the need arises.
