Missing you so very much...

I had the pleasure of working with Larry and QCD for the last 10 years. He was a terrific person, showing my wife and I around Dallas in November, bringing us to a game, and not picking at me too much when the Cowboys beat the Vikings. Rest well my friend, you'll be missed...

We will miss Larry immensely, no words can express the heavy sadness for this loss. He was such a kind and generous soul, so full of life and fun. He will be so so missed in our home. God bless you Larry, sleep in peace

I know saying I am so sorry for your loss is not enough. They are only words, words that are meant to comfort you. My heart does break for your wonderful family. When Larry would come to the Isle to visit his parents, their eyes would just lite up. He brought so much joy to them. Larry touched so many, I know he will be missed terribly. Please let me know if I can help in anyway. I will pray for your family.

Larry was a client and I considered him a good friend. I had the opportunity to landscape his home several years ago. He was always smiling and cheerful and was always interested in how things were going. A little story for all. Bazzle his dog was always going wacko when we would come by. One day Larry sat Bazzle down in front of me and as I looked up at Larry with amazement. Bazzle charged me and bit me on the leg. I looked straight at Larry and said "looks like we are playing golf at Royal...

My favorite backyard Oasis. I used the pic of his backyard renovation for my photo on advertising.

Larrys front yard right after we met and I landscaped it.

Larry was a client & friend....bigger than life & down to earth. Although saddened by his loss, we are grateful for the time we had him. After all we are only on loan to each other until God calls us home. May peace & understanding be with the Sims family, his colleagues & his friends. RIP friend.

What devastating news. Larry has been our good friend since the eighties. Last month, we were planning a trip San Antonio.

We are heartbroken. Larry's love of life and wicked sense of humor will be missed.

To Larry's family, our hearts ache for you. We just got the news, so we're not at the funeral. Please accept our condolences.

God speed Sims. ITB
