Helen & Family, Sorry to learn of Larry's death. Both my late husband John, & I were classmates with Larry.
Larry is the third death from the class of Arenzville High School 1953. My husband John died 8-20-03. Max Beard died 10-5-04. The last time I remember seeing you was after the death of either Sharon or Sandra Grant's death. Do not recall their married names. You were in attendance because of being best friends all through School. Wanted you to know I remember your family, and Larry well, and am sorry to learn of his death. I have been on vacation the last two weeks so my message is late. Love & Prayers, Maxine

Helen, I was a 1953 Classmate of Larry at Arenzville High School. I am sorry for your loss. My wife Virginia Kleinschmidt was also in our Class.

I was sorry to hear of Larry's passing, but pleased it was published in the Jacksonville paper, (which I read online, and Karmen saw in the actual print paper), so that those of us who remember your family were aware. We lived upstairs from you in the house on the hill in Arenzville. I suppose the last time we had contact was when your mom died. Our parents are both deceased for 15 (mom) and 20 years (dad) already. I live in New York City, Karmen lives in our house in Arenzville and has two young adult children, and Connie is in McHenry, IL and has four children. I just wanted to let you know we remember you and wanted to extend our sympathy to you, Helen and to your family. I would be pleased to hear from you if you want to be in touch.
