Cathy & family,
We are so very sorry to hear of Larry's passing. Larry was the kind of person you always looked forward to seeing because he always had a smile, a joke or a story to tell that would leave you in stitches and just brighten your day.

He touched so many lives in and outside of the North Country and we are all better to have known him. Not only was it his sense of humor and friendly disposition that made him a great friend, but his dedication and love of his family that made him and admirable man.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of you during this difficult time.

Sincerely,

December 6, 2008

Cathrine and family,our sympathy goes out to you and your family for your loss. Dick and Therese Fosher

To the whole Boulerice family,
I am soo sorry for your loss. I went to school with Larry Jr and Mike. I met Larry Sr later on in life. He always had a smile. I enjoyed the times we chatted when I worked at walmart. He would come in shopping with the family and would stop and chat. It was mostly about every day things such as the weather or business but it always made me happy to see him.

My prayers are with each and every one of you and may god hold you near during this difficult time. God Bless.

Cathy and Family,
I was so surprised to hear about Larry. He was a great man. I spent so much time with your family growing up I always thought of Larry as a second father. He always made sure to stop and say hi to me at Price Chopper. He will be greatly missed. My thoughts and deepest sympathies are with all of you.

Larry,

It was the little things that you said and did to make that scared little 15 year old feel comfortable on the day she meant the family thirty-five years ago. It was something I cherished and held within me. You were a special gentle man that will never be forgotton and remembered in my heart forever. Your grand smile could light up the room and brought smiles to everyone you touched.


Dear Cathy, Lori, Larry Jr., Lynn and Mike:

It will be the little things that you will remember, the quiet moments, the smiles, the laughter. And although it may seem hard right now, it will be the memories that help push away the pain. May the love of those around you, help you through the days ahead.

Thinking of you!

Aunt Cathy, Lori, Lynn, Larry and Mike,

I was so shocked to hear of Uncle Larry's passing. I could not believe it when my mom told me. I remember when I was growing up he used to tease and pick on Angie and I, he always knew what to do or say to make us laugh! I will always remember him as one of the most fun loving, kind, generous, and caring uncle's I have ever had and he will be greatly missed. I want you to know that even though I will be unable to attend the awake and funeral, that my thoughts will be with all of you! Miss you all and love you!

Larry was a special person, always a smile on his face and who can forget his laughter. You couldn't help but feel good when he was around. He was a true professional when he worked for RPPD and CPD, I enjoyed working with him. I will miss him and I am thankful he was a part of my life.

I think you know although I have been able to only visit once or twice a year, you have always been thought of fondly and often.You are in my heart forever. Im gonna miss the big guy, his quirky smile and loving hugs. The world is a better place having had him in it. He touched the lives of many people. I regret I didnt make it up for thanksgiving, but will be sure to visit you all at Christmas.

Larry's Family,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss and i hope during this time you feel Larry's love to pull you through this because he was an amazing man with the kindest heart.

Larry,
When you started working at BHC i knew you were different because you always gave me the benefit of doubt if things went wrong, you always had a soft spot for me even when the rest of us looked bad haha- I know that no person can take your place because you were one of a kind and having you as my neighbour, friend, security guard i have grown to love your company and our chats whatever they may have been! i just wish there was another summer with you there because i think BHC is going to be different this summer since loosing you- I hope you are happy whereever you are and know that i cherished every stop on the golfcart, every chat in the morning and every smile u placed on my face...you are amazing Larry and i will always remember you.

Ill make sure to put the new security guard in his place :)
