Dear Patsy, Tony, Bobby, Helen and Kathleen,
Our memories of Uncle Larry are from many years ago along with Aunt (Busha) Edith. We enjoyed some great times visiting at your house in Minneapolis in the 50’s and 60’s with our parents Don and Jenny Winslow and our brother Donnie. We have thought of you often throughout the years and now are saddened to hear of Uncle Larry’s death, but know that truly the best is yet to come! May God cheer your sad hearts knowing that you will be together again some day. God Bless You All.
Your cousins,
Diane (Winslow) Coursolle and Becky (Winslow) Briggs
Dear Pat and family members, Sorry to hear about your fathers death. He was always such a gracious man always waiting on people. He kept all those people a whispering Pines and Arbors entertained and on the move.
He was so good to my aunt and even gave her a cane one day when she had trouble getting around. He wrote a lot of poetry for their birthdays and other occassions.
May he rest in peace. God Bless all of you. He sure loved his family.

He was my dad and the thing I will always hold dearest to my heart was his courage and positive attitude. He raised all of us to open our eyes each day and count our blessing for being alive to live and love our families. My hero has instilled this positivity in all his children and I feel it has made us all better people for this faith.
With love and respect, Dad’s favorite offspring, Tony.
Larry was amazing. I remember this spritely man who would come and visit residents at the nursing home; he had constant words of encouragement, jokes and that BEAUTIFUL smile! His spirit and compassion will live on as we keep him and his message of love in our hearts. I am a better person now for having knowing him.
God’s Peace,
Abby Berglund
