Bobby & I we're disturbed to hear of the passing of Larry. A life long friend by our children & school activities! But more so a wonderful neighbor who live down the street from us. I had just realized I hadn't seemed him doing his daily run/walk lately. May he be blessed & sleep in heavenly peace! a wonderful, soft spoken person!

Gloria and the Lebby Family,
I was so sad to hear Larry passed away Sunday. Larry truly was such a kind person and talented artist. He was soft/ spoken, principled, and surely a delight to talk to and with. Sharing time with Larry and your family was always an enriching experience.
Our heart grieves with you. Yet, I am reminded that God has promised He will put no more upon us than we can bear and Jesus left us a Comforter when He left to prepare a place for us in Glory.
I know you are God fearing and God loving, therefore dry every tear from eye, for Larry is at peace and is no longer bothered by the pain or burdens his earthly body bore. I and my family love you all and are praying for your peace and comfort.
Love always,
Beverley D. Wilson, M.D. and Travis, Taylor, and Sydney Stewart

I remember Larry Lebby from Ms. Gottliebs art class we were in at Airport High School. Larry was such a nice young man and had a lot of artistic talent. I was so happy to learn that years later Larry had become a very successful artist. The paintings he has done are absolutely incredible! I was so very sorry to learn of Larrys passing. He truly deserves a special place in Heaven.

My condolences to the Lebby family. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. Larry was one of my drawing instructors during the 70's. He was truly a game changer for me. His beautiful talents will be missed, but he leaves a legacy that cannot be denied. I pray for comfort for his family, his children.

I grew up just down the road from Larry. We rode the school bus together and were in the same art class in high school. I admire his talent and his well deserved success. Rest In Peace.

Larry . Thank you for becoming you. I still remember when you dislocated my shoulder when i tried to tackle you, never would have predicted your softer side, I got to enjoy you and will still get to enjoy you every day with the wonderful paintings you shared with me ,Mary Ann and my Mom. I'm sure she met you at the gate to tell you how much she loved your St.Peters picture , watching the ball games we played and take you under wings. Danny Boy .
