To my dearest brother-in-law. We will win another dance contest someday. I already miss your smile, your joy of life and the love you had for your family. I will also miss the great BBQ chicken you made for me.
Rest now and I hope you watch over on all of us.
With tears in my eyes and my heart sad, I will keep you close to me always my “brother.”
Love,
Jeri
We are saddened to learn of Larry’s passing. Rest in peace brother.

Larry was not only my manager he was a friend and a golfing partner. I recall the time he was to stay in the office on April 15th. He had a tee time and said who will know if he skips out to play a round of golf. Well, everyone who read the Post-dispatch knew because that is when he had his first hole in one. Rest in peace LC.
As co- Branch Chiefs from 1996 to 2004, Larry & I were both early risers. I enjoyed our coffee & talks, as well as working together. Nancy & I send condolences.
To Butch – My favorite cousin – Going to miss your BS and my Grandkids are going to miss your Blues equipment. Joe and Kathy Dugan – Love Forever

HE SMILE EVERY TIME I PUT THE BALL STRIGHT DOWN THE FAIRWAY AND SAY YELL YOU DON’T PLAY MUCH YOU SANDBAGGER. RIP MY FRIEND…
A great guy, a dedicated IRS employee, a golfing aficionado and an outstanding fellow veteran. A passing too soon that will leave a void difficult to fill.

May God bless his soul.
Larry and I seemed to gel well as manager and employee. We enjoyed time on the golf course together and many a laugh. I will remember Larry the rest of my life. I was saddened to hear of his health issue and now his passing. My memories of him will always be fond ones.
Larry and I had the same title in the IRS but on different sides of Missouri. We often discussed matters of mutual interest and he directed me in the right path many times. He will be missed. Condolences to the family.
Larry was my boss and then later my branch chief. He always treated me with respect. I really enjoyed working for him and also I felt like we were friends. My sincere condolences to his family.
I’ve known “Butch” since I was 10 or 12 years old. We caught up with each other about 8 or 9 years ago at our Vietnam Veterans detachment.
He always talked about his grandkids with great pride and affection. We would reminisce about playing in the creek behind the old Crestwood Plaza.
He was a great friend, gentleman and veteran. He will be missed. Condolences to Dianne and family.
Chorosevic Family,
On behalf my brothers and I we are so saddened to hear of Larry’s passing. Not only was he dads buddy, he was always such a cool funny dude! Don’t dwell on the death part, laugh and remember, let us live for those who live no more, live in honor of them
My best friend & golf partner. I miss him already.
Tom Wettig
Happy Birthday to my “best” brother!
