Dear Paula and family, Please accept my sincere condolences on Larry´s passing. We didn´t know each other as well as I would have liked, but I knew he was a Godly man by our conversations about a common friend, Bill Wilson. The Strockis family has been blessed to have had Larry as husband, father, gramps and sibling.

Paula and family, I am so sad to hear of Larry´s passing. There is never enough time on earth to spend with those we love. He is now in heaven and will look after all of you from there. I´m sure you will feel his spirit near. Thank God for our memories, and the modern world of pictures. Love you all. Hugs. Juddeé Maxwell

So sorry to hear of Larry´s passing, spent many years with him in the Naval Reserves. He also assisted with some of my home projects but finding a contractor friend to install our new gas boiler and a shower stall and toilet for our down stairs bath from a local wholesaler. I believe we´re in the same unit in the Naval Reserves. I remember an ice cream shop named Koolcone which he ran with his family. But had not seen or spoken with Larry in sometime. Our thoughts and prays to his family...

Dear Paula, Jason, Dan, David and family, We are so sorry to hear of Larry´s passing. It was always great to see you guys at church or at a HS softball game. To say Larry was a family is an understatement. He truly was a great man and an inspiration for all of us who looked up to him. We extend our deepest condolences.

I met Larry recently and immediately knew he was someone special! My prayers and condolences to Paula and the family! He is now with our God and at peace! Be gentle with yourselves and cherish the memories you shared!

I have had few interactions with Larry, but all of them were very memorable. He was very intent and loving in the way he spoke. He cared very much for others, that was obvious. I golfed with him this summer on the Holy Spirit league and very much enjoyed his amazingly positive attitude, he was a joy the be around.

To me, Larry was Chief Strockis, and he was always a good chief in the US Navy Reserves. A good man with solid advice to help other reservists.

Larry was all of those wonderful things.we went to high school together. We all shared a million laughs and good times together. He will be missed . He was a gift. Good friend , school buddy, and golf partner.God Bless Larry !

Thank you for your service Sir
