We both met Doris and Larry about 15 years ago at the Roma Club in Preston. Larry impressed us with his fluent and smooth dancing style. He always moved with flair and style across the floor with Doris. He was always impeccably dressed with suit and tie
When he was not dancing, I enjoyed talking with him about the A League and in particilar our favourite team, Melbourne Victory. He knew each player and analysed each game. I enjoyed our many discussions with him

Larry was always easy to talk to, always had a smile and we shared many stories together.
We will all miss Larry. Condolences to Doris and family.

Dearest Uncle Larry
Your strength, kindness, and spirit have left a mark that will never fade. You’ve lived with courage and love, and that will continue to inspire everyone who knew you. As you rest now, I hope you feel proud of the life you’ve lived — a life that’s touched hearts and made a difference. Your light will always shine through the people and memories you’ve shaped. Thinking of you always love you Pauline 😔❤️

My Darling Lazzy,
There aren’t many people in this life who shape you the way you did me. From the moment I met you, you welcomed me into your heart and into your home, already like your fifth daughter ❤️‍🔥 No questions, no judgement, just that big beautiful smile and that big beautifulheart of yours. For thirty years I was in and out of your home, and every single time it felt like walking into safety, warmth and love.

Mel and I were little rebels, always up to something, always on the go… and yet you never once worried when I was with her. It was like you instinctively knew your daughter was safe with me, and I always felt safe with you. You listened when I had problems, you gave advice that came straight from the heart, and not once in all those years did you ever judge me.

I still remember those mornings after Mel and I had been disco’ing all night — when we’d stumble out of the room late, and you’d look at us with that cheeky little smile and say, “Late night, girls?” Those moments are stitched into my heart forever.

You were like a dad to me — in ways deeper and more loving than you will ever know. You showed me what a true gentleman is. You showed me patience, kindness, softness, and strength. You loved me so openly and so beautifully, and I will carry that with me for the rest of my life.

Oh, Lazzy… I loved you with all my heart. I will always love you. Thank you for everything you gave me, thank you for guiding me, for caring for me, for being such a steady, gentle force in my life. I am truly blessed to have had you so close.

Until I see you again, my Lazzy.
I love you endlessly.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

We will always remember Larry, as a dapper gentlemen with a huge heart. His infectious smile and his sense of humour drew you into countless conversations. It was an honour to know him. The world is worse off for his loss. Our hearts go out to Doris and the whole family.

A friend and a work colleague when we worked at the Manningham Club .
I will miss your many cups of teas and of course your cheery face at 10am sharp in the Clubs kitchen. And of course you had to have that apple and cinnamon muffin.
Will miss you Larry. R.I.P.

Dear Larry you will be sorely missed - so many loud and animated conversations over lunch, especially politics and any contraversial subject, and so many laughs. Rest in peace good friend.
