To My wonderful family:

There are no words to describe the sadness we feel since "dad" is gone. He was the kindest, strongest, most determined man I know. He was on a mission to always be the best at whatever he did. The success of Crown Steel, the company he built is world reknowned. His pain is gone but, the pain I feel will last a lifetime. As the daughter of the late Larry Allan Trunsky I will walk with my head high and follow in my dad's footsteps. After all I am a Crown kind of girl.

love always,

Holly

P.S. These are the words my dad lived by: DON"T QUIT



When things go wrong as they sometimes will.

When the road you’re trudging seems all up hill.

When funds are low and the debts are high.

And you want to smile, but you have to sigh.

When care is pressing you down a bit.

Rest, if you must, but don’t you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns.

As everyone of us sometimes learns.

And many a failure turns about.

When he might have won had he stuck it out:

Don’t give up though the pace seems slow –

You may succeed with another blow.

Success is failure turned inside out –

The silver tint of the clouds of doubt

And you never can tell how close you are.

It may be near when it seems so far:

So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit –

It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.

Family of Larry Trunsky



I am deeply sorry for this great loss and my warmest sympathies go out to the loved ones of Larry Trunsky. Larry was a wonderful man; I enjoyed knowing him and working with him. His persistence at whatever he was doing was a great quality to have. Often times today, people easily give up on the goals they have when the road becomes difficult. Not Larry; there was no obstacle and no roadblock to difficult for him to maneuver around. He was an inspiration to seeking and reaching ones goals and objectives in life. I will miss him and I will remember him. I learned from him and grew myself from having known him.



Love,



Ken
