Not sure what to say?

Dear Connie, I am very sorry that Larry is gone. I found out after the funeral. I know some time has past, but this is when the days are the hardest. I remember how you would talk about the vacations you and Larry would go on, with such delight and love. He seemed to be your rock. You would only speak of him with such grace and praise. I hope you are getting better each day, just thinking of the memories you shared with your daughters will kept you strong. I think of you often, my thoughts...

Connie,
So sorry for your loss...Deepest Sympathy to you and your family.

Larry was a High School Friend who shared some classes with me. Throughout the years we would reconnect at the various John Marshall Class Reunions. With all of our common friends we would share memories and laughs over the innocent things that seemed so funny then and oddly enough, still seemed funny when shared with friends from so many years ago. I was saddened to hear of Larry's passing and Connie, my prayers and, I am sure, the prayers of all who knew Larry are with you and your...

The childhood memories I have of Mr.Szuhay will be cherished for as long as I live. Conversations about ballgames, science, family, and life have made a lasting impression I will never forget. Mrs.Szuhay, Michelle, and Kelly, my thoughts and prayers are with you guys, truly.

Connie I am so sorry for your loss. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

You will be missed. I always enjoyed re-connecting at reunions. You and Connie made them special. My best to Connie and family.

Connie and Family - Larry was a valued mentor to me and others at URS Corp. But as much as his "work family" misses him, we cannot imagine how much Larry's real family must miss him. Please accept my condolences for your loss.

Connie and family,

We always had a good time talking about coaching and such with Larry at John & Maureen's little gatherings. He was a great guy and we will miss him.
May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
