Colorful Tribute Bouquet

Cathryn and family...sending our condolences after hearing of the loss of your Dad. Sure sounds like such a special person.....alot of memories for you all to hold onto! Sending prayers to all of you.

My favorite thing about Larry was his hearty laugh. His fun-loving nature was always something I looked forward to any time we got together. He also had a sense of adventure, like when he, Art, my cousin Debbie and I went backpacking in the presidential range (which he was doubting the wisdom of that first day). Loved any time he was on the room, he lit it up and made you feel at home. I´ll miss you so much Larry. You were a great man. Rest well.

Larry was a wonderful gentleman who was loved by many people. May you rest in peace, Larry.

Mr Kent was my 5th grade teacher at Davis Street School in the mid-80s. Everyone has that one teacher that made a real and lasting impact in their lives; Mr Kent was that teacher for me. He used to read novels aloud to us during free periods, and he nurtured my life long love of reading more than any other teacher. He was a wonderful and kind man and will be missed. My deepest sympathy to his family, friends and loved ones.

Larry was my cousin, just a few weeks older than me. As we grew up, we (our families) spent time together at our Grandmother Jackson's home in Madison NH. One of our favorite activities, at the time, was to hike in the nearby White Mountains. Picking blueberries and eating blueberry muffins and pie were some of the fond memories from those years.

I am very sorry and send my condolences. He was always very kind to me which I appreciated with all my heart.
