Not sure what to say?

Dear Frances,
Terry and I, and our daughters, Jessica and Lexie, want to let you know how deeply saddened we are at the loss of our friend Larry. All of us enjoyed so many wonderful times together ...many Thanksgiving dinners, Christmas and New Years with Larry are part of our family memories. Jessica, especially, has fond memories of spending time at Larry 's studio in Lake Worth as a child. He was always generous in sharing his art supplies and instruction as she explored her...

Larry visited the Cottey College campus many times for the Body Image Project, always around "Love your Body Day." He had a powerful and positive impact on myself and our students through his art and message. We will miss him.

May you remember the happy memories as the lost of a special person hits home. I'm sure Larry is talking to God on all the different images HE has created and itching to mold more.

It is said that life and death are one thread, the same line viewed from different sides. If this is true then Larry wove one beautiful tapestry with his life. My prayers are with my Aunt Frances and our family. Cousin you will be missed.

Sending hugs to you Aunt Frances. You're in our prayers.

I was fortunate enough to meet Larry last year. What a sweet man. He loved everyone who visited him and was so gracious. I know all of his classmates from 1961 will miss him terribly. My condolences to his mother, aunts and cousins.

There is an eternal flame burning for you in Boca Raton, FL
