Lawrence E. Matthews

A true friend, one of a kind. The world would be a much better place with more people like Larry. Will miss him each and every day. Remember the good times, there are plenty!

You became my Uncle Larry because growing up you were my dad's (Bob Landry) best of friends! You were always so silly with us kids but also very kind.

I remember how unlike the other adults around us kids, you didn't just pretend to listen to us, you genuinely listened and engaged in conversation with us.

I remember talking about fishing. I also recall talking your ear off about my cabbage patch doll LuLu and you sat and listened.

You will surely be missed! I'm glad I got to see you at my dad's funeral, you brought a big smile to face in my darkest hour. I'm going to hang on to that special moment. You'll be missed Uncle Larry!

Donna and John we are so sorry for your loss. Pam and I will keep you and your family in our prayers at this difficult time and always.

Larry you were like one of my brothers.been around all my life.Rip larry say hi to my mom in heaven..

Larry, I forget exactly what year we met but it was sometime when we were in elementary school. Over the 50 some years we knew each other you were always one of my nicest friends. In the teenage years we began to see each other more & more and started hanging out working on Hot Rods with Cal and all the other Gear Heads in the neighborhood and there were a lot of them, then started meeting more of your family. When you came out of the service we really got closer & closer. I remember fishing all the time at Mill Creek and Camping at the Fuller farm since we were kids with Bob Landry, Cal, Frank, brother Eddie and many others. The years at Heinz & Watts Stoney Creek on the 4th of July picnics, Beating all the other ball teams that would challenge us. The years playing ball at Softball City on the Raiders, with all our closest friends, one game from winning it all. All the Fishing trips we went on up north and the Trips to Ohio for NHRA drag racing. All the partying was the best. I could go on & on & on. Most of all Larry your a good guy, never confrontational or conceited in any way. And the way you watched out for you family and your mom. Thanks for being one of my closest friends for so many years.. Teressa & I will miss you very much. See you on the other side. Ken Tocco

Uncle Larry was one of the nicest guys I had the pleasure to know. When my kids were little at Christmas time he would always give them McDonald's bucks. They didn't see him very often but he still thought to think of them. He never had an unkind word to say about anyone. I enjoyed visiting with him during the holidays. Cheers to you Uncle Larry.

Larry when we were younger and our dads got together we had so much fun hanging out. Time separated us and our lives took different paths. My memories of being you cousin and friend have something I have cherished my whole life. I'm sorry you left us so early in life. You will be missed. I love you cousin
