Not sure what to say?

Your daughter, Terry was my best friend and I was honored to have stayed with your family.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I only had the opportunity to meet Larry once, but as a recipient of the O'Shaughnessy scholarship at St. Kate's, he has had a profound and lasting impact on my life. Best wishes to your family during this time of grief, and celebration of a life well lived.

I remember Mr. O'Shaughnessy walking regularly in his backyard next to our place on Balsam Lake, WI, and the great boat rides he gave me in that wonderful wooden Chris Craft. I'm sorry for the loss, and have fond memories of him.

Heartfelt best wishes from

Dear Molly and family,

Dick and I are so sorry to hear that your father has died. He clearly has touched so many lives and will be sorely missed by many.
I think it's especially sad to lose a very beloved father.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Our deepest condolences,

Dick and Leanne Arnold

He was a "mighty man," as they say in Ireland, and a lovely, lovely man. His likes will not be seen again.

What a gift he gave to my daughters, to all children who have attended Lake Country School, and to all who will continue to go there. It's a great legacy.

Bonnie, Eileen, Terry, Molly, Larry, Jim and families: we are sending our heartfelt sympathies and prayers for the loss of your beloved husband and father, Lawrence. We have much respect and profound admiration for his devotion to understanding and helping people, his generosity and contribution to many endeavors. We treasure many memories working under him. He will be greatly missed.
