We sure will miss your annual visit down to Jackson to have your taxes prepared. I always enjoyed our conversations about the crazy tax laws, government, religion, and the world in general over a cup of coffee. You will be sadly missed.

Dear Janice and family,
There are only a few people we meet on our journey through life that exemplify what "walking with Christ" truly means. Larry was one of those people, always with a smile, always with a happy heart, and always focused on helping others. We pray for comfort for you at this difficult time, and hope you find solace in the knowledge that many others loved and appreciated him.
Hugs.

Larry was one of the kindest and ornriest individuals that I have ever known. Always having a boistrous "hello, Dauby" for me, accompanied by a joke or a story. I'll always remember the fun when we were laying the block basement on Eckert Road with Larry in charge. I'm sure that he will be missed but he'll be running a crew somewhere in Heaven.

I can imagine him standing at the Master's gate Wondering should I enter or should I wait.
An arm comes around him a warm glow on his face "Come in my son you have a special place".
A death ends a life not a relationship. He will always be with us
