Judy, I wanted to send my sympathy for the passing of Larry. I will never forget him and his teasing Scott about his "road kill hat" at the tractor pulls. Just the thought of him brings a smile. He touched our lives more then I can say.

Larry was a good friend and an exceptional county commissioner. As President of the County Commissioners Association of Ohio I have many fond memories of the work we did together and the fun and laughs we had with Larry and Judy. Sorry I cannot attend services as I will be in D.C.

My son spent 5 years competing with the National Kiddie Tractor Pullers. Steven always enjoyed his time competing when Larry was there. Larry even announced some of our real Tractor Pulls in the early days. Larry knew that Steven had a long history with tractor pulling, as I pulled a pickup truck when I was 8 months pregnant with Steven at the Darke County Fair and Larry announced the event. Larry will be sorely missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Judy and the rest of the family.
