Larry was an important part of my family and will be missed dearly, especially his smile. My thoughts are with his family Chary and Jari. Larry will be with me always.

Some can look at you, some can look through you, and Larry looks into you. He IS incredibly perceptive. A teacher of the value of life! And my bro, I miss you.

Larry was one of a kind. He could make you laugh out loud. Sometimes I think he taught me instead of me helping him. You will definately be missed

Lawrence Harry Brenner (Larry), 73, of Armada, Michigan passed away December 10, 2012, after a long illness.
Larry was a lover of life, and an enthusiastic eater of pie! He loved music of all kinds, particularly rock and roll “oldies”.
He is much beloved by his surviving family, sisters Chary Sundstrom, of North Carolina, and family; and Jari Andrea Brenner, of Saint Paul, Minnesota; cousins, and many dear friends who were his caretakers and life-long friends, particularly Darlene Adams and Tiffany Pearl. He also had many dear friends who shared his group homes and workshop through the years. In particular, David, David, and Stephen.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Julie Antoinette Brenner and Harry H. Brenner of Birmingham, Michigan; and many aunts and uncles, particularly Mary King (aunt) of Madison Heights, Michigan.
Larry brought a smile to everyone he met. He was famous for his “crinkly” smile that lit up the lives of so many.
He will be deeply missed.

What a grand photo you have chosen to share with those who loved him so very much. He will forever be in my heart.

I met Larry in 1977 and he was a character you could never forget! His rendition of "You are my sunshine" is as legendary as is his emotional response to "I'll be home for Christmas". This year Larry will be "home" eternally with all his loved ones who have gone before him. May his family and friends find comfort in their memories.
