Dear Arlene, Mark, Chris and Michael,
There are no words to express our sadness in yur loss. We got to know John and your family through SJCI baseball. What a priviledge and honor it was to spend that time with John and your family. He was such a gentle man with an offer to always help or an offer of thanks. He touched many in his quiet ways and subtle sense of humor. WE will continue to keep you in our prayers and pray that God eases your pain and sadness. If there is anything we can do we are here.
With deepest sympathy,
Gary, Barbara, Michael & Kristen Brignone

We are deeply saddened by the tragic news of John. We would like you to know that you and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers. May the good lord give you the strength you need. And may God bless you .

Our lives will never be the same without John. Every happy memory we have includes him.
Our hearts are broken. He was the most amazing guy. I feel sorry for the people who did not know him because they missed knowing someone who was one-in-a-million, and Angel on earth. We were lucky to have him and we will suffer his loss all the rest of our days.

I wanted to offer my deepest sympathies to the Larry family. Like two of the other writers (Pat Smith and Tim Pachla) I was lucky enough to attend OLC Ascension and NT high School with John. We also played baseball and basketball together for many years and spent our share of time running around the avenues. playing ball in the lot behind Johns house and even skipping school and going to Beaver Island. John was a great friend and I will always cherish the memories I have of those years we spent together. My family and I will keep your family in our prayers.

Arlene and Family,
Words cannot express the sympathy that I feel for you and your family. My wife and I were on the beach that tradgic day and we have been deeply troubled and I know your pain is far greater than ours. But I know that God loves you and will hold you during this time and His Word says that he would give us "the peace that passes all understanding". Just know that we are here if you need anything and would be honored to pray with you.
May God be With You,

Arlene and family,
I am so sorry. I was there that day and tried with ever ounce of me that I had to bring him back. I have prayed for you and your family all day, every day and hope you have a peace now. I can't imagine what you are dealing with because I haven't walked in your shoes, but please know I truly care with all my heart and will continue to pray for you and your peace every day. (phillipians 4:7). I wish so much I could be there for his service but please know that my heart will be there and I will be praying for all of you.
With Sympathy from all of my heart,
Suzanne See

My deepest sympathy goes out to the Larry family, relatives and friends. I had the priveledge of growing up with John and sharing many great memories while attending OLC, Ascension, and High School. Johnny was so fun to be around, and he touched us with his humor and warmth. I will miss him very much, but I will always hold on to those great memories of friendship and his willingness to put others before himself. Words can't describe what a wonderful person John was.

I'd like to offer my deepest sympathy to the Larry family on the loss of John. I doubt you'll recognize my name, but John was a big part of my life at OLC-Ascension and all through high school. If he kept a copy of his senior year book I think somewhere in his caption it says something like "seen with Smitty and Arrow." I'm Smitty and Bob Rajnisz was Arrow. I can't tell you how many hours we spent together playing baseball and basketball; riding around in his car (he was the first of us to get one - a maroon Dodge Dart i think) and basically doing the things that teenagers do. He was a great friend and one of the funniest guys I've ever known. My kids refer to him as the "Vanilla Ice Cream Guy" because of a story I've told them. We would go to Anderson's on Sheridan Drive and John would insist that the person behind the counter recite every single flavor of ice cream they had. He'd usually ask about a few they didn't have. And then, without exception, he'd get vanilla. Every time he did it we killed ourselves laughing. It might be kind of lame 16 year old humor but I still remember it so that must mean something. I have quite a few more of those stories that I won't bore people with in this space, but I guarantee you I will never forget them. Reading John's obituary, it's clear that he became a talented, dedicated and giving man. I'm not surprised based on the young man I knew. I'm sorry that I have no words to ease the pain you're feeling now. But please know that your husband and father touched a lot of lives in a good way. And that includes people you've never heard of before. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
