Carissimo figlio, vita mia, bello mio, cuore di mamma darti l’ultimo saluto e un dolore insopportabile. Hai sofferto fin dal primo giorno ma so che ora sei tra le braccia del nostro Signore e libero da ogni dolore. Riposa in Pace mio caro figlio finche non c’incontreremo di nuovo. La tua addolorata madre.

My beautiful boy, my great warrior, sunshine of my life - how do I say goodbye? You were my strength, my light, my everything. You gave me unconditional love, made my heart sing with your smile and my soul fly with your kisses. Your poofles were a soft and tranquil breeze that soothed me when we were troubled. Remember, you hold my heart in your hands. Larry, I will always love you to infinity and back and then some. Anna Maria.

Larry, you were my absolute rock, what you endured over the past 58 years is nothing short of a miracle, overcoming many obstacles you always came through with a beautiful smile as our King Larry the 1st. I will miss our arm wrestles, foot massages and pretending to fall asleep to get out of your exercises.

I will remember only the good times, love you bello. Domenico and Maria.

Larry, my special little brother. My best friend.

My partner in crime. My cheeky monkey.

My heart is aching because you have left us to be with dad. Thank you for all your surprises. Thank you for your beautiful smile. Thank you for your love. Christmas will never be the same without you. Run and talk all you want now. You have 58 years to catch up on. Fly with angels. No more pain and suffering . Always and forever in our hearts. Toni and Michael.

Bludger-boy-Dearest Larry. You are an extraordinary example of courage, compassion and love. You are now free of your struggle and I hope you get to see dad and give him a hug again. You made us better and I’m proud to be your brother. The first thing I think of when Larry is mentioned is his big beautiful smile.

He was greatly loved by everyone and he

really was happy as Larry.

Damiano and Isobel.

Dear Uncle Larry, we all adored you. You had an infectious laugh and smile which was uplifting and drew the family together. Without uttering a word, you taught us how to love deeply, act courageously when life is tough, and to cherish life’s simple pleasures. We will never forget your big kisses, bumpy car rides and your belly laugh. We take comfort knowing that you are at peace.

Love from your proud nieces and nephews.

Life will never be the same without you. We miss you dearly and we will always remember your cheeky personality. We have beautiful memories with you and find solace in knowing they will forever live

on in our hearts. Umberto.

The family would like to thank all the doctors, nurses and allied health professionals who have shared Larry’s journey.
