Hi Our prayers and thoughts are with all of you. It was great to see all of the pictures in the video tribute. We enjoyed the times we were able to see you, when you visited North Dakota.

We both really feel the loss of a good and faithful friend. It just seemed that Larry would always be there whenever we needed info on our Bellevue house or when we came to visit. We often think about and smile when we remember Larry's dashboard "papered" with yellow post-it-notes filled with the people he needed to see and the good deeds he had scheduled to perform. Larry was truly a good man and we will miss him. God Bless you all.

Will miss seeing Larry as I come from singing in the choir. You two were wonderful home teachers to me. Larry was such an inspiration of what we should all be - a friend to all. He was there to take me to the emergency room when I fractured my knee cap. He was always encouraging and positive. I will miss him as I know you will also. His spirit will always be with us.
