Dear Joyce ..We still remember when you an Larry lived 2 houses up from us on Hoch Dr. Your kids & ours dressing up on Halloween, sleding down the hill behind our house on their saucer sleds in the winter, those little league games, Colleen babysitting for us, Waterworks Pool and those many get-to-gethers on the patio with Chuck & Larry tellling those jokes and laughing till their sides hurt! Such fun. Treasure the memories for a lifetime. Our deepest sympathy to you & your family.

Aunt Joyce and family. I was very sorry to hear about Uncle Larry. I'm the worst for staying in touch but have thought of him often. He was one of my favorite Uncles. I'll always remember singing Irish songs at the family reunions. He loved sports and I make my living coaching high school so I know why he did. I don't know if you knew this or not, but my son Danny almost attended Notre Dame on a football scholarship. I too drank a toast to him, Uncle Dick, Uncle Denny and of course Dad. Our prayes are with you.

Dear Aunt Joyce and family - I will always remember Uncle Larry laughing. I was so little when we moved away, but when I think of him, he's always grinning (with a cigarette hanging out of the corner of his mouth, just like my dad)!! He was so handsome and so tall, no wonder you fell for him, Aunt Joyce! And I mean that literally (my mom told us the story so often about falling out of a rumble seat????) I know you had many, many wonderful years together, but even so, I wish you'd had more. I will miss him. Last night we had a bottle of wine at dinner and we drank a toast to him. I hope he and Uncle Dick and Uncle Denny and my dad are having a ball up there. They'll take care of him now. When my mother told me about his passing, she simply said, "I loved that boy." And that says it for all of us. My love to you all.

Dear Armstrong Family,

I'm Agnes Lewis's daughter. Alice Armstrong was my great Aunt. My husband and I no longer live in Akron so we saw Larry's death notice on line. I hope you and Marjy will accept our condolences for your loss. Ellen and Ed Ruthenberg
