Our families sincerest condolences for the loss of your father - so young. May God hold him precious in his arms and comfort all of you with knowing that he is at peace and that he loved all of you so very much. I know his mom and dad will be waiting with open arms. You are in our families prayers during this sad time. I'm attaching a photograph of him with his father as a young child for all to enjoy in case they didn't have it.

Dear Lois and family,
I was so sorry to hear of Larry's passing. He was always one of my favorite cousins and a true gentleman. I have wonderful memories of visiting Larry and Mary Ann and Aunt Marie on the farm and all the family reunions and holiday get-togethers at Grandma Kensinger's house when we were children. My thoughts and prayers to you and your family. I loved Larry very much and I know he will be missed by many many people.

Dearest Lois:
So sad to hear the news of Larry's passing. He was a wonderful man, a real gentleman. I have so many fond memories of Larry from our years down in Estero. I told my mom as her email skills as you know are limited. She will be getting in touch with you herself but she did want me to pass on her deepest condolences. From our hearts to yours much love Rita, ROy, Kevin, Trevor and Marlene.

Lois, I wrap my arms around you and the children in love and sorrow. My heart is heavy and sad, but I'm glad that the suffering is finally over.
I hope that Joe was at the gates to meet Larry and that they are planning a parade or a moving company.. It will never be the same without him.
May he go with the angels knowing that he was greatly loved,
