Help bring Larry home

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Mike. On Saturday, May 14th, my father Larry passed away unexpectedly. He is survived by my mom, his wife Laurie; my brother and his oldest son, Jeffrey; and his youngest, me.

Unfortunately, he did not have any life insurance and his passing came incredibly sudden. With that said, my family is trying to raise money so we can have Dad properly cremated, so he’s able to come back home with us. $1,200 should allow us to properly afford a home for his remains, as well as the cremation process. The excess of the funds would go toward assisting my mom with any bills that may come due to his passing. **EDIT: The initial goal was reached so quickly, and I’m absolutely taken back by everyone’s kindness. Dad would be a mess right now, haha. I raised the goal in hopes that I can get some of his remains to loved ones in his home state of New Jersey. Any bit of excess funds will go toward future bills that go toward Dad’s care. 

My dad truly was an amazing man. He was eclectic, albeit misunderstood. He relished being the "fix it" guy, and jumped at any and every opportunity to help someone out. He was an amazing cook, taking pride in making the best turkey at Thanksgiving time. He loved animals, and watched every superhero movie a dozen times over. He had a unique sense of humor, and would always try to make you laugh when it was most inappropriate to do so. He was secretly the goofiest person I know.

If you are unable to assist, please know that that is okay. All that we ask is that you pour into the loved ones in your life, because we truly are not guaranteed tomorrow.

Pops had his issues which caused us to not be the closest at times, but I loved him every step of the way and I will miss him so dearly.
