On this anniversary of Larry's death, I am grateful for his friendship through the dystonia support group. I feel I got to know him even better this past year by reading his journal of his first trip to Europe with Teresa and his aunt. He did make everything look fun. Hugs to Teresa and Denny.

Teresa, Words cannot express my heartfelt sorrow for your deep loss. ALL THE TIME Larry was sick, you so patiently and lovingly cared for him, always with a positive and believing outlook toward life, always doing all you could to enjoy every day together and help him feel better. You always were sharing praise words that reflected your thankful attitude toward God's life in us, even you saw Larry's life slipping away. You gentle faith in the midst of all this has been a reminder of God's grace and mercy, seen in your dedication and love to all you meet. Larry was so fortunate to have you as his treasured wife! You were there through thick and thin for him, Teresa; now we are here for YOU, when you want us. Love, prayers continuing, and blessings, Bev McVay

We would like to express our sympathy to Teresa and Family in her loss. I worked with Larry when he was a counselor at Grove City HS and Hayes Tech. Larry was always caring and understanding and would always make time to listen and help in anyway he could. Larry was a great guy. I remember the time I saw Larry at O’Charley’s restaurant and it was Teresa’s birthday and I made the mistake of telling Larry my Birthday was November 15. Larry had them come over and sing happy birthday to me.
You have my sympathy.

Larry was such a well rounded man, respected and loved by all.

It was fun when he brought the delegation of chinese businessmen to my store .

When we ran the Class of 76 reunion, the discussion lasted less than a minute on inviting Larry to share in the party with all of us---his ex-students > I think he enjoyed that evening and was proud of all of us in our graduating class.

We all had a good time at Jays steakhouse talking investments with the FTI members, I think at times Larry thought we were off our rockers , but he was always open minded about our choices.

Teresa, Ryan and family---you were lucky enough to share in a life of a great man, one who touched many of us, and for that we are all VERY thankful.

I noticed in the obits today, The Class of 76 also lost Kristi Wright, not a great day for all of us.

Our Deepest Sympathies,

Greg, Nancy, Melissa and Evan Skinner

Teresa, I was shocked to hear of Larry's death---much too young. We know how difficult this must be for you and your son. So many years have gone by since I worked at SWCS and I lost touch with you and Larry over that span. Please accept my sincere wish that you will be able to move on with your life in the comfort that Larry is in good hands. God is Good! With love...Dee

We zoom through this life at break-neck speed, doing the daily things that we think are so important. "Someday" we will get together, "someday". My heart is breaking for the people that did not know Larry...those of us that did not have a personal relationship with him....for it is us that missed out. His family will miss him but they are the lucky ones who knew him. I 'know' what a wonderful person he was, but I missed the opportunity to spend time with my cousin and for that I'm sorry.
God bless you, Teresa and Ryan, Kelly & MaKenzie,

My uncle was a kind, gentle man. Who endured so much in his life, but, cared more for people. He was an educator, a good husband, father, citizen, and patriot. Through his life he touched so many lives and will be missed dearly.
