Larry A. Sterner

Dear Pennie and Crystal,

We know that you will truly miss Larry because we miss the man who we met 15 years ago and developed a friendship to include our families. His laughter, his opinions, his patience, his cheroot, his love of music, his creativity, his coffee, his red wine, and most importantly his friendship with everyone, are all testaments to him being who he was.
What is a comfort to know is everyone who Larry touched will never forget him and his essence will...

God Bless You Larry. You will be missed. Our sympathies to you all.

Dear Pennie, Crystal, and Family,

We are sorry to hear of Larry’s passing. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.

as a child, Larry was the big brother i never had. from him i learned about life and love and, most of all, music. hundreds of hours forged in his house and garage, banging away on our discount instruments. our first band "Dr Sterner's Lonely Hearts Soul Clinic Club" was born of his creativity and "larger than life" persona. it is my loss to have not seen either of you in over 40 years (except at Greg's funeral a few years back) but i always have, and always will, be better for...

Dear Pennie and family: We are so sorry for your loss. When sweet music dies the song lingers on and so will the sweet song of Larry remain in our hearts and mind forever.

I'd like to share a funny memory I have of Larry...
Crystal and I were inseparable for quite a few years growing up. Going through a rough time in my life at a vulnerable age, Pennie and Larry allowed me escape in the form of tagging along on a couple family vacations to Ocean City, MD. It was on one of these visits that we're walking the boardwalk, and there are 3 guys sitting on the benches "people watching". All of a sudden, and quite loudly, one of them starts hitting another on the...

Growing up with your family through some of the darkest days of my life, was truly a blessing! Larry was the best male role model in my life! He was a father to me. There will never be another Larry! Words just can't express what he meant to everyone that knew him. Keep heaven rockin' for when we come home to you. Love you always!

Penny and Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
It is not easy to say goodbye to the one we love and have spent all our lives with, but our memories will always be with us and carry us on.

It was with great regret and sorrow to my wife and myself to learn of Larry's untimely death. He was my concert buddy for close to twenty years - seeing many bands of different genres -from Black Sabbath to ZZ Top. To say we had some great times is an understatement. I will never forget them. God, we have some laughs at those shows. I'll also miss playing guitar with Larry - he'd light up like a kid when I'd help him master a new technique. Music was one of the great interests we had in...
