Larry was kind, caring, and a great man to call "neighbor". We will miss our little morning chats, sharing the paper, and borrowing tools from his man cave garage. RIP Larry and may your suffering be over and you have eternal peace. You will be missed.

Good memories of Larry. He was a vital part of the Shape Family. His conscientious effort and the ever present smile was a blessing within the company. Condolences to all those in his circle of love.

Sincere condolences to Larry's family. I worked for Larry at Shape and we could always solve the problems we had with a beer after work with other departments. Larry was the best boss I've ever had. He is truly missed. Thinking of all of you. .

I am so sorry for your loss. Larry came to my birthday parties and we lived across the street from the Bethke family for 20 plus years. I fondly remember playing in the street and the fun we had as kids. A part of the past has moved on and I have such fond memories. Again, my condolences to all of you!!

Was sad to hear about this. He was my boss at Shape and I remember a couple of fun garage/euchre parties at his house. He was always so nice and easy going. We were just talking about him about 2 weeks ago!

I am very sorry to hear of Larry's passing. I worked with Larry at Finish Corp and took care of Edna when she became sick. I think of Larry and family often as I drive down Ferry Street and see Edna's house. Larry was a wonderful person to know, & to work with. I always think of him with a smile. RIP Larry. I know you will be missed by many.
