Rest easy my friend, missed seeing you on the road when you retired. You taught me a few things about trucking. You always would lend a hand and accept a hand while tarping and securing. Not many like Larry left in trucking. My sympathy to his family.

Back In The 1980's; Mr. Suda Delivered Corrugated Steel To My Father's Culvert Company. I Remember The Truck & Trailer Was Always Meticulous.
At That Time, I Was Driving Truck In State. In 1988 I Answered A Job Ad For Wm. Timblin Transit.
Without Knowing Larry Was The Safety Director, I Went Down To The "Farm". Although I Didn't Have Much Over The Road Experience, I Will Always Be Grateful That Larry Took A Chance On Me.
Truck Easy Larry.

To the Suda family.
I knew your Dad for many years. I ran the Peterbilt store in De Pere and we saw each other on many occasions. He also became a good friend of mine. Larry did a wonderful job working for the Timblins, and they sure missed him when he retired. He was honest , hard working, and would give you the shirt off his back.. Remember the good times because there were many. Rest in peace Larry, you deserve it.

I just ran into big Larry a couple of weeks ago in Festivals, we had some kinds words and some good memories. I remember a few things about Mr. Suda that I will never forget ,him driving me and Jerry back from Kelly lake and just how smooth of a driver he was and my other memory was put soap on nails when pounding into wood, learned that at the trailer court , they go in easier. Larry, jerry and 18 wheeler you and your Father will be in my prayers.

To Mary, Larry and Jerry and the entire Suda Family.
My deepest condolences. I worked side by side with Larry for the better part of 15 years here at TTI. Well back in those days it was Timblin Transit. So many stories. When I started in trucking, I learned a lot from Larry. It was nice when he stopped in to visit after he retired. We all always enjoyed the perch fish fry. He sure loved his family and he loved fishing. Hopefully he can be back to doing all the things he loved doing, in his afterlife. He has a lot of good company and old friends on the other side.
