I was deeply saddened when Brian told me about Larry. Mount Zion Baseball games are one of my fondest memories sitting with Janet and Larry at every game. He always was smiling.

I wish I could tell you all how much knowing Larry has enriched so many lives here at O-I. As I sit here numb, empty and confused. I still cannot believe that it is true. It is said that time heals all, but from were I sit it wil take an eternity. I will never forget... His wonderful smile, playful grin and laughter will be missed. We will miss seeeing him everyday.. Most of all playing golf and tennis with GOD has to be the greatest. I know that GOD has a perfect Angel doing a special job for him. As time passes and you have needs let us know of anything that we can do to help. May GOD be with you and ease your pain. And watch over us and keep us safe until we meet in Heaven. Love to all...

To The Family:
You have my heartfelt sympathy. Death of a love one is always hard to handle but when it's unexpected, even more so. I pray that God give you the strength you need to make it though this, your time of bereavement. Larry will truly be missed at O-I. Family, know that, Earth has no sorrows that Heaven can't heal.
