Not sure what to say?

Pat, I'm so sorry to hear about Larry. I only knew him through your stories that were told with such love and affection. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Pat and family,
We just learned today that Larry had passed. All of us here at the office are sending our love to you and your family.
Love the Tillamook Bay Dental family

Pat and family,
We have all lost a most wonderful, kind and gentle soul. Larry's dedication to doing for others will be remembered for a long long time. His fun loving ways and upbeat attitude have been his trademark in our lives. He will be missed greatly.

Larry was one of the best things about being a teenage Boy Scout in the late 80s/early 90s in Troop 41. My Eagle Scout Award really should have come with an extra pin or something for my Scoutmaster, because that thing was due in large part to his support.

We will miss that wonderful person. Our sincere condolences to all of your family

Condolences to Larry's family...
I worked with Larry at the bank and always looked forward to his light hearted greetings and conversations. He was one of the really good guys at the bank.

Dear Pat and family, I'm so very sorry for your loss. It is hard to believe Larry is gone, he is such a strong presence in so many lives. Larry made everyone feel good, I so enjoyed all our bantering back and forth. His wit, intelligence, and committment to so many organizations is a huge loss, and yet greater for the wife and family he loves so very much. Praying for you.

Pat and family: I can't believe that my good friend Larry is gone. My heart hurts for you. I worked with Larry at the Burlingame Branch of the bank, at that time First Interstate and we had such a good time at that branch. I will never forget when he wanted some alone time, he would go into the conference room and close the door, but then would break into song with "I Wish I Was An Oscar Meyer Wiener". Everyone could hear him. He was so funny and nice. One of the best friends I had at...

Pat and family. I am so sorry to hear of Larry's passing, but I'm sure he is at peace with the Lord.

I enjoyed our conversations at the Swiss concerts. We always cheered for the OSU Beavers together. It took a while but we finally were able to have that lunch together.

I will miss Larry has I am sure you all will. If I can assist your family in any way do not hesitate to reach out to me.
