Shari and family,
Could not attend the visitation but want to express our appreciation for all Larry did for this community and the special example of commitment that your marriage exemplified. You were a joy to be around as a couple and care for others was obvious. So sorry for your loss. Sincerely, Ken & Jody Smith

Shari: So sad to read of Larry's passing. One hell of a guy and an inspiration to all.
I'm glad we were able to connect at our Optometry class reunion. All of us attending admired Larry's commitment to the growth of Optometry and his impact on that growth.
Lucky you to share all those years with him and watch your family grow and prosper. Congrats for surviving the ups and downs!!
Take care.....

My condolences to Sharon and family for your loss. My mom had the pleasure of working for Dr. DeCook as her first job outside our home. She always enjoyed Dr. DeCook's generous humor and friendly manner. She also admired his professionalism and his commitment to his patients. Those were wonderful years thanks in part to the kind spirit of Dr. DeCook. He is remembered fondly in our family.
