My prayers and deepest sympthay to Ben and Sam, Rhonda and Scott.
I miss my long time friend. Larry and I go back many, many years. My fondest memories of Larry are everything we did together. Tennis, baseball, going to the beach, motorcycle rides, road trips we took together, talking all hours of the night.
Despite the distance of thousands of miles and the passing of many years, we always stayed very close friends.
I remember as a kid going to Larry's house to have brunch on Sunday and listening and watching Sydney and Larry having very spirited discussions over lox and bagels. I recall Larry and I taking Lucky for walks on many evenings.
He had a short life, but I have a lifetime of memories of my dear friend that will never be forgotten. He will always be cherished and missed.
There's so much to say but all I can say is that I will always love and miss my dear friend. My heart truly aches at his passing.
My dear friend, suffer no more. You're always in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Howie

My prayers go out to Ben and Sam. I am truly sorry for the loss of your father. He was sarcastic,funny and relentless!!! (much like his own father, Sidney) I remember Sunday breakfasts at our house, where they could go at it for hours. Let's just say, there was never a dull moment on Cherry Pkwy. I can see him now, laying by the pool, trying to get tan on all sides. Mostly, he would be sun burned, but he loved the sun!! Any chance he could get, he would be out there. Playing tennis on the back wall. All of us arguing about who would take out the dog at night in the winter. Sometimes, we didn't realize how good we had it. We were a family, in every sense of the word. I know in my heart, that Larry is at peace. I know, now that he no longer suffers. I trust in my soul that he is free. God Bless.

I would like to express my deepest sympathy to the Evans Family. I did not know Mr. Evans but I have experienced the loss of a loving parent. I find comfort in the Bible where it says that "Our Sovereign Lord will actually swallow up death forever and he will certainly wipe the tears from all faces." May you find comfort in this text.
