Our thoughts are with my Aunt Sandy as she grieves the loss of her life partner Uncle Larry. He was usually reserved, but wouldn't hesitate to share a story, tell a joke, or express his thoughts when asked. He will be deeply missed, but fondly remembered.
May God be with you in your sorrow, and may you find peace in your happy memories of a well lived life.
Much love,

In loving memory of our Uncle Larry. We will love and miss you always. All our memories of how you never hesitated to share your life's stories about family, tractors, jobs, clients, politics, and more; are sweetened by the way you always started many of them out of the corner of your mouth, with an air of secrecy, and then finished most of them with a smile, and often a laugh; even if you were laughing at yourself.

Dear Sandy and family,
We were privileged to enjoy Larry's company at our Senior Group (XYZ'ers). He always added just the right comment or quip to our gathering. He will be missed.
The family is in our prayers for peace.
God bless you all.

Beloved Cousin that we all looked up to. Larry was always there for any family member, so respectful of the elders and showed up for any of us in need. He renewed an ancestry interest in me that I really enjoyed sharing. Larry and Sandy were the loving couple, parents, and grandparents that we all admired.
Your presence and sweet humor will be missed. Love, Debbie
