Not sure what to say?

I still miss you, Larry! Your comforting presence at Shul helped me feel that I belonged there. You were always so sincere, it was refreshing. You and Shirley were always so kind to me, and Shirley is still lovely as always. She's been through so much, but she's still so strong and vibrant in the face of it all, you must surely be proud of her. I have to admit I left shul for a few years a few months after you left us, part of it I realize in retrospect was because I missed you so much. Now...

Baruch Dayen Emes. My family and I are saddened to hear the passing of Larry Grossman. Although it's been years, Mr. Grossman is remembered as a truly kind and caring individual. Mr. Grossman and his wife, Shirley, are also remembered as key figures in the growth of Temple Beth Shalom. May Mr. Grossman have many aliyahs in shamayim.

I met Larry when he became a member of The Inland Empire Dahlia Society. I didn't know Larry real well but what I did know is what a kind and giving person he was. I feel so bad that I had just learned of his passing. I am so sorry for your loss of such a wonderful, dear husband, father, grandfather, friend, and so many more whose lives he touched.

So sad to hear of Larry's passing. I could always count on his fond greeting and a hug whenever I saw him ushering at Spokane Civic Theatre or at a Symphony event. My deepest condolences to Shirley, family and friends.

We were so saddened to hear of Lawrence's passing. His commitment to our community was evidenced in every aspect of his life. We want Shirley and family to know that your Spokane Democrat community stands next to you, as we honor Lawrence's service to Spokane. Ed Wood,Chair of Spokane County Democrats

I always enjoyed getting an email from Mr. Grossman concerning opera. Such a wonderful job of keeping us informed and giving us the synopsis of each major presentation. And I see that this activity was one of many for a busy and gifted man. I'll miss you and thanks for your contribution to many of us who enjoyed a special form of art. So long "opera man"!

Sadness hit me yesterday and I didn't know why until I saw your FB post. Everyone loved Larry. I've always been proud to call him cousin. Miriam's wonderful tributes brought me smiles and tears: they were so real and touching and TRUE. Hope all the family finds peace as your new guardian angel watches over you.

It saddens me to read that this kind man has passed. We mainly know Shirley from years past with children in Kindermusik, but I still remember the kindness offered to all parents when we were in their home listening to our children sing and explore music. Many prayers to the Grossman family, from Andy, Daniel, Connie & Joe Spitz
