It was a long process, but the disease finally took Larry in April of 2001, and it became necessary to place him in a nursing home. All of the employees of Lincoln Nursing Home took care of him with loving care at all times, even when he became a handful. They became family to him and his wife because of their kindness and devotion. It was especially felt in the last week of his life.
