To Lexi,
Larry was watching over you as you danced at his funeral. He was proud of all your endeavors and successes, especially your dance. You are chip off the Uncle Daddy block as you used to call him. He and you have the same technical aptitudes and conversational style. You were far more than his neice, you were very much his little girl and he loved you more than anything. On the last night he was home on the way back to bed from the bathroom he wanted to stop in and check on you....

Dear Friends and Family of Larry,
My heart was very saddened to hear that Larry is no longer with us. I had no idea he had been ill. I consider him a friend. We met about ten years ago when I became involved with the local APICS organization. As Sherman Meade and Kathy Taylor said so well in their tributes, Larry was a driving force behind the local APICS chapter serving as its President/Board of Directors leader, leading professional development meetings and teaching cerification...

Larry, I struggle with whether I think of you more as a colleague, a teacher, or a friend. I came to know you when I showed up for a board meeting of the local APICS Chapter to see what it had to offer. Over time, I became heavily involved in the local Chapter affairs, and it was mostly your handiwork. Your passion for the organization and what it represented, the opportunities to improve the local community through helping people help their businesses, your passion for getting the new...

Leia, Lora, LaVonna and Lexi,
Although no words can really help to ease your loss, please know you are in my thoughts and prayers. Larry was a kind and soft-spoken person. I have many fond memories of the times we shared when he and Leia lived in Topeka years ago. I'm glad to have had the opportunity to spend time with Larry before he passed. The gentle care and love you gave him during his illness was very touching to watch. There's no doubt he misses you as much as you miss him. ...

Dear Lora, Lexi, Leia and family,
We are so sorry for you loss. May you find consolation in your memories and comfort in God's loving arms.
Terry and Kaitlin Pukach

Dear Leia, Lora, Lexi, and family
You are in our thoughts and prayers. Be strong, love ya!

Wow, what a shock to see this notice. Larry was such a fine young man, growing up in Perry and being a part of our church, The Perry United Methodist. When I saw Larry's picture with the obituary, I had to go to the class of 1983 photo and compare the fine young man I knew as a teenager to the grown man who is now at peace in heaven. I am very sorry for your loss. I am so proud of the many great things Larry did in his life. He was a kind and thoughtful young man and we know he will be...

There is great sadness because of the loss of my baby brother, Larry.
No Big Sis should be saying goodbye to her baby brother; regardless this is what I have known I would be doing eventually. I just want everyone to know how much he is loved and will be sorely missed by all of us McGahee descendents. It is amazing that from Larry’s two sisters, me, the oldest, and Synita, and his brother Kevin could be responsible for all of the descendents I list below:

From Oldest to Youngest...

leia, lora, and lexi, My thoughts are with you. sorry for your loss. Larry was lucky to have someone to care for him and keep him as comfortable as possible throughout his illness.
