He is also survived by his siblings, Cheryl (late David) Brendel, Mark (Sonja), and Michael (Linda) Kasiorek; brothers-in-law, Michael Wassil and Jim Reid; niece, Jamie (Reid) Sukenik; great-nephew, Jaxson; and many nieces and nephews and great-nieces and great-nephews. Larry was preceded in death by his parents, Paul "Casey" and Eleanore Kasiorek; and sister, Amy L. Kasiorek-Wassil.
