Patsy, I am so sorry about Larry. He was special! I will never forget how he paid attention to little me on Youngwood Road! I was the youngest and picked last for everything but he always went out of his way to tease me in a very sweet way! Hugs to all of you! Laura Short

It is with sadness that I express my condolences to Larry Bruner's family. He was a classmate at Seneca and is remembered for his genuine smile, kindness and friendship to all of us. He was much too young to leave his family. May you feel the care and concern of friends. God bless.

Forgive me if I have the wrong person, but if this is the same Larry Bruner that once worked at National Linen Service, I just wanted to say thank you for putting a smile on my face nearly everyday with his Hughie, Dewey and Louie Duck imitations. I worked in the office there until 1985.

Dearest Carrissa, I cannot express how sad I am for your loss of your Dad. I believe our parents hold a very special part of our hearts that never can be replaced. I hope you find peace in knowing your Dad now is without illness and wrapped in the safety of God's arms.
