Lawrence M. Battis

Dear Larry,
To my friend, partner & mentor. I know what I have lost but I have yet to realize the impact. You were such a special person in my life and a true gift! Gone now are all those hobbies and passions that we shared together but I can assure you they will never be forgotten. The world is a little less bright today then it was while you were with us. I can not begin to tell you how much I will miss you and how much I loved you! There is a tremendous void now that I know will be...

Uncle Larry, one week later, and it still seems so hard to believe. Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm for life. We will always remember how giving you were of your time and talents. We will miss you.

Dear Michele;

Our prayers go out to you and your entire family. Your dad's brave fight with luekemia served to comfort me that my own father's death years ago may have helped some doctor to discover treatment that gave your family precious extra time together.

Cherish your memories always, and hug one another!

Michele;

Just a note to let you and your family know how much we are thinking about you. Your dad's couragouse battle gave me comfort that my dad had not died in vain from leukemia, but rather that through his death the doctors may have learned something that gave your family more time with your dad.

Cherish your memories!

Uncle Larry, I love you and I will miss you. I will always remember your kindness and your laughter as you told me so often that you approved of my school because it spelled your name the right way. I suppose you could say I learned from two Lawrence's in my life. My thoughts are with Peggy and your family.

Larry, you are at rest now. It is we, who are left behind, that grieve. We plan to see you sometime in the future in your new abode. God speed, dear Brother.

We'll miss you Uncle Larry--your stories, laugh, and infectious grin! Our thoughts and prayers to Aunt Peggy, Pat, Julie, Michele and Karen.

I first met Larry when I became his son Pats friend some 27 years ago. He always was full of life, enthusiasim, and a kind word or encouragement when you needed it. He will be missed

Larry, I can't begin to tell you how much you ment to me and how much I will miss you. I will forever remember you with your duck call in one hand and your Winchester in the other. No one alive could make that call sound as sweet as you. There are so many memories and there were so many wonderful times we shared. That road to Canada will be so much longer and darker without you and your stories to pass the time. I will miss you Godfather. Thank you for everything.
