Larry W. Nikkel

I am so sad to hear of Larry's passing. I knew him in high school but the times that were the best were when has was a member of a big group of friends at SCC's journalism department. He had a wonderful caring spirit and he was so funny! Just thinking of him makes me smile.

Larry the Lawnmower Man made many a sad day turn around for me. I can still see you, upon your lawnmower on a hot day, munching on frozen fruit-directly from the bag! And when we were on the food service committee together, always being told to quiet down because you just made me laugh. Larry, this world misses you; but you are now in the arms of Jesus and I am certain you are making Him laugh as well.

I hadn't seen Larry in nearly 38 years but I still remember him fondly from high school as a gentle, funny, irrepresible spirit. The world will miss him. I wish him and his family peace and solace.

I am truly sad. I had the opportunity to see you every couple years and will miss the chance to do so again. I will miss your smiling face...
My prayers and fond wishes go to your family and all of your other friends.

My thoughts and prayers go out Larry's family and his family of friends and the community. Larry could always brighten a persons day with a kind word or just a smile. Larry will surely be missed here on earth and Heaven is getting a wonderful soul.

I shall remember Larry for his smile, his sense of humor, dedication to family, and love of beautiful things. He touched my life with genuine friendship. My heart is saddened by our loss. May God bring peace and comfort to all who loved Larry. He will be sorely missed.

My prayers & thoughts go out to the family for the loss of Larry my old neighbor.

This is a sad loss for Larry's friends and our community. Larry was a true to himeself person who followed his ideas and dreams with purpose and accepted all around him for their gifts and beliefs. My deepest sympathy to Larry's family and many, many friends.
