You’ll be so missed unc!!! I thank you for always being so warm and caring. For always supporting me and my family, for always coming to my events and showing your love and giving your kind words. You always made me feel at home in your house, taking me in like one of your own when staying with you and your family. You were truly a bright light in our family, always with jokes and making us laugh. I’m so glad I got to have you in my life and I’ll always miss you and cherish my memories of you. I know you’re in a better place, happy and healthy and with your son. We will all be here for your family and reminisce of your  loving soul. I love you Larry and thank you for everything!
Thank you Larry, for having such a positive and lasting impact on my life. I look back very fondly on the times when I stayed with you and Lisa when I was younger. You were very passionate about helping me with my school work, and as a result of that, I have learned more than I could imagine. Thank you for helping me to become the person that I am today. I love you.
Dear Lisa and Family, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Larry. May the caring thoughts from others help you through this difficult time. May the wonderful memories you shared with Larry sustain you in the future. My prayers to you and your family, Jan Anderson
Lisa, My sincere condolences to you and your family. May your memories and your faith bring you peace.
Lisa and family, you are in my thoughts and prayers at this sad time in your lives. Larry fought a gallant battle with his cancer and had such a positive attitude. He will be in your hearts forever and all the memories you have. God has another angel.
Lisa & family – I was so sorry to hear about Larry. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.
I am so sad to read this news. May memory warm and comfort the hearts of your family and friends.
Lisa and family – I am so sorry for your loss. You are all in my prayers.
Larry I just don’t know what to say. You will be so missed. I will miss our running joke, when you’d call for John to come out and play golf. You’d always asked if my dearly beloved was there? I’d say no, then you would ask to speak to John. You are one of a kind and you just left a big hole in our lives, but I know you’re in a better place playing golf with your Dad and Mike and talking St. Peter’s ear off.
Larry you are my hero!!!
We are so lucky to have such a wonderful family with so many special members. We were truly blessed to have Uncle Larry. At every family gathering it was guaranteed that Uncle Larry would greet each of us with a smile and a hug. With genuine affection and interest he would inquire as to how we were and what we had been up to since the last time we had gathered. His affectionate personality and smile would quickly put everyone at ease and make it feel as if we had seen one another only last week instead of the reality of many passed months or even years. What a special gift! Uncle Larry, you will be fondly remembered and greatly missed.
Uncle Larry,say, uncle Larry, Thats first words that Larry would try and teach baby Delilah to say. She just adored her uncle Larry. The minute she saw him ,she would run to him with her arms in the air, wanting him to pick her up and give him hugs and kisses. Uncle Larry bear is one of Delilah’s favorite, a gift from him on one of his many visits to see her. Larry was loved by all and will be missed every day. Rest in peace, someday we will all be together again.LOVE YOU, LARRY.
