The Christopher Family,
Lynn and I are so very sorry about your loss. Larry's passing is a terrible tragedy for all of us who knew him. We know that Larry came from a good family and that you loved him very much, as he did you. Larry always spoke of how much his family meant to him. Larry and I were neighbors and best friends since kindergarten. I will miss the phone conversations that Larry and I had on our birthdays through out the years. Larry had intelligence, wit, charm and a caring heart that made him a great friend. We will always be thankful that we had the opportunity to know Larry and to call him a friend. We will cherish his memory for years to come. Please extend our sympathy to your entire family and let them know how much we share their pain at this sad time.
In Sympathy,
Michael and Lynn Aranyi

Where do I begin to express what Larry meant to the Stells? There are so many memories that have and will always be cherished. We will always remember Larry for what he was: a great friend, an amazing cook, a prankster :), and a wonderful husband to Jan and daddy to Meg and Lauren. Rest in Peace Larry.

Dear Jan and Family,
We were very sadden to read the paper this morning and learn of your loss. While we grew up as neighbors and classmates, I met Larry while working at U.S. Steel during the summers between our college years. He always made me laugh and his fondness for dogs was infectious.
Our prayers are with you and your family.

Dear Jan and Family,
One of my fondest memories is that of the time you and Larry joined Fred,me and others from St. Anthony's in Lorain to learn and perform the dance from "Saturday Night Fever". Larry always kept us laughing!
I have always thanked Larry in my heart for suggesting that I interview for the job at First Lorain Trust. That was 31 years ago and I still work in banking today.
Peace to you and your family during this sad time.

To my brother Larry and his family. I'll miss the weekly conversations, and all the laughter. You really cared about others, and loved being around friends and family. Life will never be the same down here, and I'll forever miss all the fun we had together. I will continue to pray for you and your family, and look forward to seeing you again. Thank you so much Larry.
