Dear Darla,
Just heard the news of Larry passing.
Any time that we would run into each other, I had to brace myself, as I knew what was coming....A big bear hug and he would pick me up and twirl me around. Will always think of him and smile. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Darla, there are no words to say that will make you feel better or to make the pain go away. I hadn't seen Larry for a lot of years and then I ran into him at Walmart several times and it was just like i had seen him yesterday. He will be missed by so many people but none as much as you..all my thoughts and prayers to you!

Darla, Cousin Larry always had a way to make discussions lively and bring an entire group together. I have wonderful memories of trips to Amherst when we would have yearly sporting matches after holiday meals. We will miss his humor and laughter.

We have lost a truly wonderful man. Larry was a special person, who could make anyone laugh. He was a friend to everyone. I will miss hearing "Rebecca" yelled across the parking lot at Trotters. He was the only person to call me that so I always knew I would be smiling soon. He always had stories to tell Wayne and our kids. They enjoyed any time spent around Larry (or Lawrence, as I called him). Darla, I am so sorry that you have lost "your special someone". You will be in my prayers.

RIP Larry-you will be greatly missed. I always remember when the family would get together Larry was usually the center of attraction. His wit, jokes and just being Larry made everyone laugh. I can still hear him "this ain't good or this looks like it is going to hurt." Those memories we will always remember. Darla our thoughts and prayers are being sent your way.

Dear Darla,
I knew Larry such a short time and was really looking forward to seeing him again and getting to know him even better. I will never forget the smile on your face when he called one evening. We were standing outside my Mom's house. I went inside and told Mom that you looked so happy when you were talking with him that it looked like your face lit up like a Christmas tree! Larry brought "fun" and "energy" to everything! He was a real asset to the Sunday family gathering. He loved to make people smile, especially you ! He was a genuine, nice, person with a big heart. Our family has lost a wonderful family member but; heaven has gained one. I want you to know that it was both an honor, and a pleasure to have met, and known him, even for such a short time.
Sending you a big hug, lots of prayer, and wishing I could be there to help you I am, your cousin,

Dear Darla:
So saddened to hear of Larry's passing. Although I've only seen him a few times since high school, he always had a smile, a mischevious grin, and a joke. May your memories comfort you in this time.
