I just went to call your dad for blind repair. So sorry for your loss. In the few times he had been to my home to repair blinds he was always so nice and did a very professional job.

Larry installed all window coverings in our house we live in now and our previous house. Always a welcome person in our home. I was very sad to hear this news, he had been at our house only a week earlier - May he rest in peace

Larry installed everyone of the window treatments in our home.
He was always courteous and professional. May he rest in peace and have plenty of dogs around him.

Dear Devine Family,

I was saddened to read about Larry's passing. Over the years, Larry has been at our home many times to install window treatments. Larry was an experienced and highly skilled craftsman and was very conscientious and courteous. I enjoyed talking to Larry and joking with him while he worked in my home. I will miss seeing Larry's red truck and will especially miss seeing Larry.

Larry was a very kind man, and a great neighbor. He was always friendly, and a pleasure to chat with. We will miss our conversations, we will miss you Larry. Rest in peace.

I worked with Larry over the years while I was employed at North Central College. He was a superior guy from my stand point and never needed much help even when the areas he was working in was in turmoil. I am sadden by the news of his passing. Thank you for letting me be a part of a message to you. I will never forget him.

It was great fun getting to know Larry over the last couple of years. I got a chance to talk to many of our customers, and at the mention of his name they would consistently go on and on about what a great guy he was! I'd hear stories about how he loved to pet their dog, saw their kids grow up over the years, or how he helped them out "above and beyond" what he needed to. He will be missed by many families, many pups and the entire Roseland family. He was truly one of a kind!

Larry was a very practical and down to earth guy, who loved dogs. His family was always his first priority. I worked with Larry for over twenty five years at Roseland Draperies and I will miss him deeply. "He was the man,our Devine Larry.

I worked with Larry for almost 15 years and he was a friend - he will be missed by all the people he touched - he was a good guy. Last week I saw some Halloween peeps and I thought to buy some and send them to Betty to give him. He's still in my head and I've been gone from Roseland for 2 years. He will be missed.

Shawn:

Your dad & I had a wonderful relationship. He would always stop by my office at Wheaton College and we'd talk fishing! Larry was always gentle, kind and uplifting. Talk about a hard worker, he installed hundreds of blinds and drapery here at Wheaton College through the years. He was a wonderful steward for Christ and HIS Kingdom!!!

GOD Bless
