We had a blast at fire school in ames. Ill remember his smile and who could forget that infectious laugh!!He's a great lifelong hometown bud,and he will be truly missed.

Don and Flo I am so sorry for your loss. Please remember all the good times you've had. Losing your son has to be the most heart wrenching thing that could happen to you. Larry was the friendliest guy anyone could meet. It runs in the family. I wish I could help you but only time will do that. You are in our thoughts.

Don and Flo, I heard about your loss tonight and my heart aches for you.
You and the rest of Larry's family are in my thoughts. I will be praying that the Lord comforts you and brings you peace.

Don, Flo, Sherri, Lisa, And Jon, I cant even begin to tell you how sorry I am for your loss. Larry was a great man and I AM PROUD to call him my Father-in law(OR JUST DAD) I Love you all dearly just know that I am always here for you when you need me.Remember we are not saying goodbye to Larry, Just SEE YOU LATER. Love you all!

Don & Florence, I am very sorry to hear of the passing of Larry. He was a great classmate and friend. I remember "sneaking" into the body shop with him to work on his Nova. My prayers are with you at this time.

Hauge family; words cannot express the gratitude I have for all of you for sharing such a wonderful guy with me. He taught me so much and I respected him immensly. Just remember you only have to get through the moment. I think Larry was a lucky man to have such a devoted wife who never left his side, Lisa you are a brave admirable lady. Jon and Trista I think you will always have that edge in life because Dad will always be right there whispering in your ears and playing a few jokes on you....
