Super Fan Larry was always full of such spirit and could get anyone involved in the love of sports at McHenry High School. I will never forget the nights on Main Street when he would dance to all of our music. You Will Be Missed

Superfan Larry will always have a place in the hearts of whoever has lived in mchenry, he has made such an impact on so many peoples lives that i dont even think he knew about. Although home sports games (mostly football) will be somber, i wouldnt be surprised if it thundered ...it would be Larry and his thunder sticks in heaven cheering the team to victory!! my deepest condolences to his family for the tough times ahead, but let us remember how larry would have wanted it.... full of spirit

Larry was a great guy, a super fan and a super friend to many. He loved the parades and would sit in front of my house. I'll still save you a seat, Larry. Gone but never forgotten. RIP
