LAURENCE BRATSCHIE

Genny-It has been many years since I've seen you or Larry. However, I happended to be with a client today who drives a Studebaker Avanti and it reminded me of you and Larry. If my memory is accurate, I believe Larry had an Avanti too. A quick internet search brought me here. I am so sorry to hear of Larry's passing. He was always so friendly and kind. I am praying for comfort and peace for you and your family during this difficult time. Warm Regards, Dan Woodworth

We were so sorry to learn of the passing of Larry. We have very fond memories of him at the Boca Grande Club, in Florida. Our sympathies are with his wife Ginny and the Bratchie family. Yvonne Anderson

Dear Ginny and Family:

I am sorry to hear of Larry's passing: I first met Larry in the late '77/78. Larry was responsible for hiring me into the International Department in its beginning stages. Larry served as my mentor and teacher; I attribute my success at Steelcase to Larry's patience and influence. I enjoyed my travels with him to South America and to the Middle East.I knew Larry as a supportive colleague and a sincere Believer who walked and spoke as a follower of the Messiah.

Ginny and family;
We were sorry to hear of Larry's passing. Larry was a very positive influence on so many civic organizations and will be missed. He was always fun to be with. Our sympathies are with Ginny and the Bratchie Family.

Larry's light will shine in so many ways. Signs of him will continue to nudge us to be better. Met him with the EaRN program. A life well lived.

Larry blessed me in so many ways in the EaRN group when I was between jobs... praying for your family during this time.

Larry, one of the most beautiful persons we enjoyed in our lives, to know him was to love him.

Genny, we are so saddened to hear of Larry's passing. What a beautiful soul he was! I first met Larry after we moved to Grand Rapids and I was working for Cherry Health. Larry was instrumental in the Heart of the City Health Center capital campaign and was a delightful partner in helping ensure that everyone had access to primary health care. I had the joy of reconnecting with you both at the Symphony. Larry always had a smile and a genuine warmth for everyone he encountered. He cared deeply....
