Lawrence A. "Larry" READE

We offer our sympathy and prayers. We know Larry and Barbara when we lived in Tonawanda, NY when we were first married and had our two oldest boys. Rich was a member of the club and did club races. They stayed at our house when the Nationals came to Louisville. We will miss him dearly.

My wife, Barbara, and I met Larry and Barbara in Florida and became fast friends. We biked together often and Larry inspired me to bike more than I had for many years. I will always remember and honor him for the inspiration and the real friendship. I will miss him, but will always ride in his honor.

So shocked to hear of Uncle Larry's passing! He was an amazing man. I still remember our talks together on Cleveland Dr when my girls were young. He was riding by on his bike and he always stopped to talk to Jamie & Caitlin! They thought he was the greatest!!! So very sorry for your loss. He will be greatly missed by all. Sending hugs & prayers to Aunt Barbara!

Sorry to hear of Larry's passing- lots of memories from cycling and Empire Games. Sort of lost touch the last few years, but I will miss him!

So sorry to hear of Larry´s passing. Barbara our prayers will be with you and your family. If you were married 66 years you must have been almost teenagers. Please let us know when the memorial service is planned.

Dear Barb, Bill and I were saddened to learn of Larry's passing. Bill so enjoyed being with and talking with Larry at NFBC rides and events. He was in awe of Larry's biking speed and his awards in bicycle competitions. Larry was a mentor to so many new club members. I enjoyed being with both of you at the club social events. How beautiful that you shared 66 years of marriage together and raised a wonderful family. May they bring you comfort during this difficult time.

Donna and Family, My sincere condolences. May love and peace hug your hearts. Grief can be so hard, but your special memories will help you cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.
