I'm sorry for your loss. Death is one of the hardest things to deal with but I have found hope in John 5:28 and 29 and I would like to share that with you.

I have only known Larry since I moved to Good Sam in April of 2013 and we became fast friends. He was a wonderful person and we had fun times with his great sense of humor. I am sad to lose him. He will always be in my heart.

Larry always visted the sick in our Parish and has been a roll model for me.

Larry was a great man. He was a lector and did many, many rosaries at all the funeral homes and assisted as much as he was able too. Much loved.
