Robert Yale Lary Sr.

Thank you to all of Dad's friends and family for your kind words of sympathy. Dad was an exceptional athlete as well as father and husband to us. There will never be another like Yale. He treasured his family and friends. We miss him so much.

Offering our heartfelt condolences to Janie & the Lary family. May God grant solace to the bereaved during this most challenging time. Yale was an amazing and talented man of integrity. He will be sorely missed. ~Al~NY

coffin corner! that's what you could hit, man! and that's what you invented, when you weren't faking a punt to run for the first down.

I was one of the neighborhood boys in the mid 60's and 70's and friends with Yale Jr, played football at Central Jr high and Trinity even was in a carpool with yall in Morrisdale. I just found out about Mr. Lary's passing and wanted to send my deepest condolences. Mr. Lary was always kind to us young street football players and would let us see the coveted "Duke" football that was so sacred to your family and indeed should be. He left a lasting impression on me and I'm sure all the other...

Janie: I still have wonderful memories of the Detroit Lions glory days and of course you and Yale were an important part of those times. Yale's mischievous smile, your style! My sympathy to you and your family.

Dear Janie, Robbie and Nancy Jane,

I was sorry to hear of your loss. While I never met Yale, I did meet his son a few years ago. It was a chance meeting downtown on the square in Gonzales and we discovered we were cousins. I met you, Janie, in Gonzales many years ago when you stayed at the home of my parents, Robert and Florence Boothe. I just wanted to express my sympathy to you at this time. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Robert Boothe

RIP Lary
