Dear Rosie, Our Maria just called us to tell us Nina told her that your Larry just passed away. We were so shocked and are so sorry. We want to sent you our sympathy and love. Again we just can't believe it. We'll never forget the crazy fun we had down on the farm. There was also the fun we had on your visit while we were in Houston. Great memories. Rosie, remember when you taught a class Greek cooking. Again, we are so sorry and our prayers for Larry and also for you in your time of losing someone very special. Love Kathy and David Kelling

I was saddened to learn of Larry's passing today 2/10/11 while having lunch with some retired "Company" friends including Jack Platt. Jack and I recalled our JOT training together with Larry in 63 and some hilarious times. We then went our separate ways but my wife Karen and I did drop in to see Rosemary and Larry in Athens - 67 - after our separate sojourns in Vietnam and Hong Kong. A couple decades later Larry and I both worked the Middle East/South Asia account and often saw one another. I could always depend on him for tips, advice and his sharing a good joke.

Bonnie and I were saddened to learn of Larry's death. We remember most his consistent kindness and, despite an amazing intellect, his solid humility. Can hardly recall any better golf pal and he put us all to shame by dressing as though he were going to St. Andrew's. We will of course pray for him, Rosemary, and his family as wel as contribute to the macular degeneration cause in his name. God bless.

Larry was truly one of the few genuine and sincere human beings that I have met. I will always remember the sparkle in his eyes and the excitement in his voice when he told me about his experiences in India and around the world. Thank you for your friendship and for crossing my life path. You will be greatly missed, Larry.

Sorry to hear about Larry. We are keeping you in our prayers at such a very sad time. He is at peace now and no longer suffering. He is with my dad now so I am sure they are having a good time in heaven...

Larry was a good neighbor. He would always stop and talk to my husband and I when he was out walking his dog and later, if I was driving down the street and he was outside, I would stop and see how he was doing. He would always say he was doing fine. I enjoyed our conversations. We will miss you Larry.

I will miss Larry for being my dad, for his stories, for his company, for his fluency in Greek, for his sports trivia and for his wealth of knowledge. Take care, Papou, we will miss you!

He was among the good guys and will be sorely missed! We will all miss his accounts of intrigue in Greece. It is hard to see the good guys go, but it is good to know that he is no longer suffering. Bon voyage,Larry! Alan & Katy Burrell
