Larry has been a lifelong friend…we meet back in elementary school. We were neighbors and soon became like family. My most memorable memory of Larry out of so many is the times he used to prank call me on the phone…he got me some many times!! There was not a time we were together he didnt make someone in the room laugh. The news of his passing is so hard to absorb. God needed him more.. May God embrace Larry’ s family and friends to help the healing and to have strength in the days to come. You will be missed my friend for you touched some many in your own special silly ways!! Rest easy. Love Darlene-Charlene

Little brother Larry one of my best memories was you kicking your loafer over the shoe racks at Shoe Department while Megan is working and made a perfect field goal for the NFL across the store. He even done the referee goal sign!!

I enjoyed talking to larry. He was always so sweet and funny. He was the best cashier ever. Always had a good conversation with you waiting on your car. He will truly be missed.

I am a regular customer of Cofer Auto. This is the only ties I have to Larry, but they are all pleasant. I always enjoyed talking to Larry while waiting on my vehicle. I sure am going to miss that laugh he had. RIP my friend. It was a privilege to know you and be in your company. God bless this family.

I’ll never forget Larry putting oil in the radiator of the red Camero we rode to school in together , he sure kept Pat busy fixing that car . Larry was one of a kind and we were great friends growing up .
Sorry you had to leave us so early .

To the Zimmerman Family,
We ( the Smithfield O’Reilly team) we’re so shocked and saddened to learn of Larry’s sudden passing . I usually saw him at least 2 or more times a day, 5 days a week . What a character he was , always joking, and his laugh, that will never be forgotten. I will surely miss our kidding around at Cofers Auto, he always had something funny to say . I will never forget him .
My thoughts and prayers to the Family . May he rest in eternal peace .
