Larry was a good friend during our high school days and I remember him as a savvy Jass player at the old Leonard's. My condolences to the VanAlstyne family for your loss.

We can cherish our memories of Larry. Notably, some were when we went out to the homestead (Dover Hill Road), every Sunday for our informal family gatherings.

Our deepest sympathies to you and the family. You are in our prayers. Peace, be with you.

Though away from Dover since January 1958, as a classmate of Larry's the two things I best remember about him were his quiet smile (he always "got" a joke) but had a gentle smile which accompanied his gentle nature. He was pleasant to have in class and was truly a gentle man. Regret never thanking him for his service to our country! Condolences on his family's loss.

Carolyn and Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.
With deepest sympathy.
