Tony, I'm gonna miss you! I'm glad I had an opportunity to talk to you this year. I'm sorry I missed the opportunity to see you. While not often that we talked or seen each other your spirit was the same every time. Always laughing and smiling. You had charm that no one can forget.
Love you cousin,
Breonne

I can't begin to express the lost that I feel. Larry, you are one of my best friends that I have had growing up & over the years. True we haven't seen each other in years but your words of wisdom & advice has carried on over 20+ yrs. You were always too wise for your young age. You are in my heart & your family are in my prayers. I know your strength & wisdom will get everyone thru this hard time. You will always be a shining star to all of us. Watch over us & protect us all especially the children.
Leslie, Shon, & Ms. Laurie stay strong. Know that you meant as much to him as he did to you.
Love you Larry & you will be missed.

My reflections of Larry take me all the way back to Hamblin Street in BC. He was the first person I ever heard say "one monkey don't stop no show" I just laughed and laughed. We were children then, playing in the rocks from the driveway. He will truly be missed. LaShon, Leslie my prayers are with you and your families.

I'm so glad I had the opportunity to see Tony back in September when I came home to see mom. He came by for a visit. He kissed me on the cheek and we laughed and joked about life and the ups and downs and his health challenges. I felt so encouraged, inspired and uplifted just listening to my nephew. It really became clear to me what a beautiful spirit he is when he came to me in a dream before his passing and kissed me on the cheek goodbye. I will always cherish these two visits. Thank you my dear nephew for reminding me love is all you need, and this earth is only one of many facets life holds.

There are not enough words in every language put together that can describe how sorry I am and how much pain I feel. Out of all the people in my life my father taught me the most. He taught me to appreciate living even when you're in pain, to look forward to the future , and to cherish your family, along with many other things.Although I knew he was sick I never could have anticipated him passing so soon. He looked forward to so many things,including his kidney transplant and my upcoming graduation.Everyone who knew him loved him greatly.

May Larry finally be pain and struggle free.

Tony,

You were so cute as a little boy, who grew up to be a handsome man. You had a nice, caring personality with a beautiful smile. You would always take the time to call or come and visit Grandma Kate and I when you were home. Also, when you moved to Las Vegas, you would call just to say hi. I will surely miss you, but I will treasure the memories of you forever.

Love,
Aunt Sandra

i remember taking tony to college with me for little brother and sister weekend when he was only three. the girls in my dorm were fighting over who would take him to their room. no one met tony who did not immediately like him. his smile was captivating. his spirit soared no matter what he was going through. i never heard him complain and he always had a positive outlook on life. tony had the uncanny ability to uplift you and make you laugh. he was a shining star, a shining star. he left his mark on us all. tony will be missed, but the peacefulness of his nature and the beauty of his spirit will live with us forever. he is never far from my thoughts and i gaze upon his picture everyday. tony had the spirit of a warrior and is still teaching us all about love, faith and perserverence.
