As a kid we would move around alot due to my dad's job. I would spent many summers going to my grandpa and grandma's house (Larry and Betty Corles home). I would be able to drive around the trackers when I got older and light off fireworks during 4th of July. We would go to the community center for swimming. Some of my most favorite things growing is getting to go see my grandparents in KS. Without my grandpa and my dad, I wouldn't survive 20 minutes outdoor. My grandpa's memories and the legacy he leaves behind will always be here. It breaks my heart to know he's no longer on this earth but is now looking down on us all.
I know how proud of what he leaves behind. I know he will always love grandma (Betty). He will always be there in spirit for her. He will be there for my dad (Steve) and (Brenda). I know he was so proud of what they have accomplished and will continue to do.
We will all miss you grandpa, and we will meet you someday on the other side. The legacy you leave behind has been legendary.
Love always from the Corle Family!

Larry and I worked together at Funk Manufacturing for several years. He was an excellent employee with a wide range of knowledge and wonderful people skills. More importantly, he was a person of great integrity who valued everyone around him. I know he will be missed, and I know that this world is diminished by his victory!
