Not sure what to say?

Shelly and LaJean, my Mom sent me the clipping from the newspaper. My heartfelt condolences to you both.

Dear Betty and Family,
We'll miss Larry's friendly face, and his cheery lawn mower manicuring your yard each summer. And we miss him as we pull into our garage and see his truck, expecting him to hop in and drive away on some errand. Our hearts are with you.

Betty & Family,
I remember many wonderful fishing trips with Larry and Mike Harrington. On one such trip, Larry actually rescued my fishing pole from the ocean by wrapping his line around my pole. My wife & I have enjoyed socializing with the Groesbecks during the Holiday Season at the Harrington's. May your many special memories of Larry lighten your hearts.

Dear Betty, Lajean and Shelly,
We remember Larry as a really nice guy and we were lucky to know him over the years , especially when you were little girls and neighbors of ours. God be with you.
Gary and Ann Nees

I will never forget you Uncle Larry! You were the first father figure I ever had, and I will always remember those trips in the Triumph when you would purposefully drive as fast as you could over the railroad tracks or bumps in the road until LaJean and I would literally jump out of the seat. We would laugh and laugh until we cried! I love you - Marci

Dear Betty and family,

It seems like yesterday that I remember Larry and your smiling faces on the Panama Canal trip! May the good memories prevail and God encircle your family with His love and comfort you at this sad time.

Betty and family, we are so sorry for your loss of Larry. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.

I worked with Larry for several years. He was my supervisor when I started at Peerless Trailers. We got along very well, when ever he wanted to get my attention he just threw a chunk of steel at me. When he left Peerless to work for RA Grey he and I did a job for ESCO. We built a rolling cover for an X-RAY pit working nights. He was one of the hardest working guys I have ever known. The respect I have for him will continue on. I'm sure that you, his family and friends, will miss him. ...
