Sue, William and Patrick,
It is so very difficult when someone you love leaves you so suddenly. I hope all your good memories will help ease your pain. As Patty and Paul said earlier, your family, friends and good neighbors will be there for you as time passes. You have great support in all of them. Somedays it may not be enough, but try to allow yourself sometime to heal. It is a long and difficult journey, but remember how much you are loved!!!
I have to believe that Larry is at peace and I hope you are able to find some as well.

Oh Larry, you were an extraordinary guy. You had the biggest heart and a great sense of humor. There wasn’t anything that you wouldn’t do to help someone out. You were always there for me. Thank you.

I remember coming out of a local store and my car was missing. After noticing Larry’s truck I then realized who was playing a joke on me. The voicemail Larry left me the next day was one I’ll never forget. You could always make me laugh.

He would always talk about Susan and the boys. Which I’ve had the pleasure of spending time with. He loved all of you very much.

Larry and family my thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of grief.

Larry, from the start and to the end,traveled life's road on his own terms. His heart was bigger than most others! His laugh was true, his handshake was honest. Like all of us, his faults were human. He loved his wife, he adored his boys. He was my brother in life and forever in death. If granted one wish, I'd like one more hug from my baby brother. Larry has left on walk about and I know is now with Nana and Gramps! Danny

Dearest Susan, Patrick and Billy, my sincere condolences on the loss of Larry. I met Larry over 5 years ago when he brought the boys to the pond to go fishing. He introduced himself but when I was reiterating the story to my husband, I called him "Mahoney" Larry actually answered to it and thus the name stuck and I called him Mahoney from then on. He shared many great stories with my husband and come to find out they new many of the same people. Last time Mahoney was at the pond, he and my husband talked about going to NH to visit a cronie they both new. We see the boys more often and love them both. They are the most respectly and wonderful children. They do their father proud. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers.
