I have many wonderful memories growing up as part of the Aker clan. Larry never changed, always the gentleman and so much fun to be around. My thoughts and prayers are with Carole, Keith, and their family. My dad, Jess Aker, loved Larry like a son, and really enjoyed teasing sweet Carole. We will miss you, Larry.
