Pam, Ashley and Devin and family - we are so sorry for your loss. This is so sudden and so unexpected, Uncle Larry was taken far too soon from you all. He was a wonderful Godfather to me, and I will miss him forever. He lives on in you all, and especially his grandchildren. Our deepest sympathies. -Cara & Nate
Lampasona Family, I had the pleasure of working with Larry over the past seven (7) years with David Watt, MD, at CDH as I work for a company called FH Orthopedics, Inc. We spent many hours together and he was a proud husband, father and grandfather. Also, being a Red Wings fan I heard way to much about his Black Hawks. Please accept my sincerest condolences and know that I will keep you all in my Prayers and close to my Heart in the coming days and as time moves forward. Kindest Regards, Rick Carrow - Regional Manager - FH Orthopedics, Inc.
Dear Pam, Devin and Ashley, We share in your loss. Larry was taken from us all far too soon. We will forever keep him in our memories and he will live on through his children and grandchildren. Our deepest sympathy and prayers. Love, Jim and Sally
My deepest sympathy to your family. I had the pleasure of knowing Larry through the karate club, and enjoyed working with him at tournaments.
My deepest sympathy to your family. I had the pleasure of training in Shotokan Karate along side Larry for several years. We would often talk after class about our shared interest in karate, weightlifting, and hockey. Nothing ever made him smile more while beaming with pride and joy then when he talked about his children and grandchildren. It won't be the same training without his energy and motivation, may he rest in peace.
Pam, Ashley and Devin and family I am so sorry for your loss. Larry was a great guy and I enjoyed partnering with him at our karate classes and discussing the Blackhawks.
Pam and family, I am so sorry for your sudden loss. I wish I had words to help take away the pain and grief you suffer in the loss of Larry. You have my deepest sympathy. Laura Carlo
