Larry Murdock Obituary

MURDOCK

Larry H.

Larry H. Murdock, a.k.a. "Larryl," "Momma's boy", "Uncle" and "Heaven Lee" passed away Friday, February 14, 2014. Larry was known and adored by everyone who met him. He was larger than life and had the biggest smile and most obnoxious laugh that will be with us forever. A stranger to no one, Larry was loving, caring, generous, hilarious, and talented. He was a true artist who had the ability to transform ordinary things and spaces into works of art through painting, woodworking, metal sculpture, floral design and photography. Larry was the owner of The Look Salon in Toledo where he made everyone look beautiful and feel special. His clients meant the world to him and he would celebrate them at his annual client parties. He was the best; we are so very proud of him and will miss him beyond words.

Larry was preceded in death by his grandparents; father, Larry Murdock; step-father, Curt Bryan; his beloved Lillian and lifelong friend, Barry Burke. He will be terribly missed by his mother, Patricia Murdock; life partner, Scott McBride; son, Corey (Amy) Mulvaney; sisters, Jan (Jenni) Timm, and Julie (Mark) Vogelsong; grandchildren, Mariah, Hannah and Logan; uncle Bubba; niece, Danielle Timm; nephew, Brandon (Jessica McGinn) Vogelsong; great niece, Baby V; and Scott's family, Joyce, Hal, Jessica (Andy) Wiles and their daughter Mackenzie, Kelsey McBride and Jeff & Rita McBride; childhood friend, Gabi Rieger; his furry kids, Trixi and Tredd; and more friends than we could possibly list.

Visitation will be held at the Walker Funeral Home, 5155 W. Sylvania Ave. (west of Corey Rd.) on Thursday from 5-9 p.m. and Friday from 2-9 p.m. A memorial service celebrating Larry's life will be held at a later date. Memorial contributions may be made to Paws and Whiskers, 32 Hillwyck Dr. Toledo, OH 43615. Condolences may be shared at

Every time I see a bald man with a head as shiny as the sun, I do a double take and hope that it's Larry! My family, all four of us, went to Larry for our hair cuts, colors, and stylings. We still talk about him and the little things we remember about him and his shop. I will miss him forever!

I think about Larry frequently. Since his passing there hasn't been a moment that I don't miss him, think about him, yearn to hear his laugh or witness his infectious self. He was the first friend I made after to moving to Toledo in 1983. I was one of his first clients at "5th Avenue" after he got his license. We were instant friends then and still. I hold him close to my heart and always will. I love you Goofy!

It's been five years since Cousin Larry left this mortal Earth; but, his memory and legacy lives on in the hearts and minds of all those he touched.

I recently moved back to Ohio and was trying to reconnect with Larry when I found this. My heart is very saddened at the news. Larry was such an amazing person. He was also very talented and the only person I would trust to do my hair. I only knew him for a short period of time, but he felt like one of those people I have known forever. I had terribly wanted to reconnect with him. Prayers go out to Scott and Larry's family during this time.

Larry you were one of the brightest souls I have ever known. I loved you in a way that words cannot describe. The world is no longer as beautiful, not nearly as joyful, and my life and the lives of all the people you touched will be forever changed. One couldnt possibly ask for a better friend, listener, or storyteller. Ill never forget our trip to Maui and how much fun we had at the Luau. You are truly irreplaceable. Peace, love, and light my angel, my friend. Your legacy will live on forever in each heart you touched.

February 24, 2014

I remember him when he was very young. He will be missed very much by all his friends and family. So sorry about this lost.

What can I say? Words can't explain what a wonderful man Larry was. His amazing smile and the way he always said exactly what was on his mind. I'm honored to have worked for him at his salon and will treasure the friendship we had. You will be greatly missed Larry .

Larry, I was at your showing tonight and I don't know what to say. You were one of my best friends in high school. We had so much fun! You were always so sweet and I will always remember the great times we
shared. You will always be my "Yrral" and I'll always be your "Anad". I look forward to hearing your laugh again one day and dancing with you to the Violent Femmes. You really did well for yourself and so many people love you. I'm proud to be your friend. Here's to seeing you again someday.

I am so shocked to read Larry's Obituary! Larry and I had some great times, during our training at Ma Chere Academy and his mom working at the academy for a short period of time. Since I have moved out of state, I have thought about Larry over the years… I regret not taking the time to reconnect with Larry during my visits to Ohio. Larry, thank you for the great memories! Love, Larry C.

I still cant believe Larry is gone, He had everything going for him. Things were starting to look up again.
He touched so many of us, in so many ways. The way he would light up a room when he walked in.
His smile was... Breath taking. He was so charming, so caring, so generous, so loyal, so bright, so very talented in sooo many ways, there wasn't anything that man couldn't do, NOTHING, .
He was sooo many things , to sooo many people. I don't know what we are going to do without him.
He was the one who got us all together, He was our rock.
This is so very sad for hundreds of us, im sure even thousands.

God must have wanted some remodeling up in heaven. But I cant help wanting to be shellfish and want him to be here with us.
Im so glad I was lucky enough to meet him, And be a part of his family.
He had so many qualities, He was the one and only person I have ever met , that that could be so vulgar, and yet so charming at the same time. He made us laugh so many times, YOU WERE TRUELY AMAZINING LARRY !!!! I LOVE YOU AND I MISS YOU,

February 21, 2014

Good bye ole friend..it was an honor to have met you, and to have known you. We all sure did have some good times together. Your friend, chris anello.

I'm blown away by this news. Larry truly has been on my mind of late, and I had hoped to reconnect with him on my next visit back to Toledo.

As many others have said, he truly was an amazing man and did possess that knack to make you feel better.

RIP Larry.

I don't even know how to begin this message. Larry has been on my mind non-stop since I learned of his death. At first, I thought it was a big joke! After reading all of these entries it is easy to see that he changed the lives of many through his kindness, his smile, and by his artistic talents (in and out of the salon). Lar was someone I could open my thoughts, worries, and crazy stories to. We always said that we were meant for each other because of our love of Hostess Ho-Ho's, cheeseburgers, and old tv shows. Larry began cutting my hair 17 years ago. Who will fix it the way he did? Sometimes I never even had to say what I wanted...he just knew. After my Dad passed away, he came to the house and took a lot of old-fashioned tools, signs, and bar equipment. I was happy knowing that it would all get put to good use and not just thrown away. Some of dad's things are currently at The Look. RIP Larry. It's time for you to take care of yourself. I feel so blessed to call you "my friend". Goodbye Lover!

We will miss you Larry. The angels are happy because you are home. But we are sad we are a tad more alone. We'll miss your smile, your jokes and your love, but we're glad your looking down from above... Peace my friend... and to the Murdock family. My prayers are with you....God Bless

OMG!!! Pat, Jana, and Julie, I am so sorry and saddened at learning of Larry's passing. At this time of year, I am in my winter Arizona home and will not be in my Toledo home till the warmer months; upon learning the sad news, I was shocked. I remember as a very young child how he was referred to as "Little Bit" and that we on the Hansen side of the family called his dad "Little Larry" and I always called his paternal grandfather Uncle Laurence. Aunt Helen (nee Hansen) Murdock was a wonderful woman as was her two children Cousin Larry (Little Larry) and Cousin Helen (Little Helen) and all the grandchildren of Uncle Laurence and Aunt Helen. I haven't seen you all in many years, but trust me, I think of you all often. Sign me cousin Roland, who himself is now an old man. Love and deepest sympathies to all.

I will never forget Larry, he was so lively and fun. Beauty school was a blast with him there. I always remember my first day there walking in and hearing him yell out at me "I know you! You're Rebecca Elizabeth Estelle Bethan!" I hadn't seen him since I was twelve years old and here he remembered my full name! He was truly one of the most wonderful people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Even though I haven't seen him in over 20 years he will be missed, I was shocked and deeply saddened to hear that he passed. All my thoughts and prayers to every one that knew him. If you knew him you couldn't help but to love him.

I am devestated. I met Larry at 12 years old and he was my one and only crush, he didn't know :) My heart breaks for Larry's family at this time. He was an amazing person, I'll never forget him.

Robyn Tyson

February 20, 2014

Although I haven't seen Larry since high school, I was deeply saddened by his passing. I have lots of memories of when we were kids. Especially in our sophomore English class where I am pretty sure it was his goal for me not to retain a thing we were being taught, as he was way more entertaining then the subject matter. He always tried to get me to laugh at inappropriate times and almost always succeeded. We would tell each other jokes, dream about the future, and talk about how a McDonald's double cheeseburger sounded so good. He was a great person with a big heart.I was very fond of him. I will always remember my old friend Larry with a smile, some memories, and maybe a double cheeseburger.

Beauty school was a blast with U there. GONE 2 SOON!!!

My girls loved him as much as I did.

Larry was more than a hairstylist he was a friend. I looked forward to our visits every five weeks and always enjoyed his zest for life. I will miss his reminder texts addressed to "lover" and his hugs goodbye at the end of every visit. Both of my daughters received their first cuts from Larry and those memories will live in our family forever. Many prayers for the family I know he loved so dearly.

Pat,
Because of Busia's our families re-connected after many years. My girls loved Larry and I remember the warm smile and hug whenever I saw him at the restaurant.
I know your pain too well. Losing a child is grief no one can explain and is at times unbearable and paralyzing. We can take comfort knowing our boys are watching down on us and will greet us when we pass into Eternal Life. Until then our hearts will ache because of our loss. May God bring you comfort and strength.

Words could never express the loss of our beloved Larry. He had such a charismatic personality. He would be the one with the lampshade on his head at a party.. He was full of life and overflowed with love. He had a knack to transform anything or anyone into his masterpiece. He will be sorely missed by all. My heart has a huge hole in it. All I can say is that heaven will have some makeovers and some remodeling done for sure. I love you "CUS"!

Maureen Hines

My monthly haircuts with Larry were always the highlight of the day. He made me feel special - not only because of his talents but through his ability to listen, share and turn the end of a rough day into a good one. I will miss him. My sincere condolences to his family & friends.

Kristi Graf

February 20, 2014

My heart is truely breaking right now. I have been going to Larry for 15 years now and he was SO much more than my hair stylist- he was a GREAT friend. No matter what mood I was in when I went to see Larry, he always had a way of making me laugh and I would always walk out of there smiling. I never walked out of that salon without a big hug and Larry's trademark "love you peaches, be safe". My hear and prayers go out to all of Larry and Scott's family. He was an AMAZING man and will be dearly, dearly missed. Praying that God comforts all of you in this difficult time.

February 20, 2014

He could light up a room with a simple smile. He was a kind, sweet man who will be missed. Thoughts and prayers to all who were touched by this shining star.

I only knew Larry for a few months, but he could light up the room with laughter. No matter how bad your day was going he would find a way to put a huge smile on your face. He's always going to be loved and missed.

My daughter, Melanie dragged me to Larry 20 yr.s ago after constantly telling me how talented he was working with hair. She was right. He was so insightful knowing what would look best on me that I could give him full reign to "work his magic", as he called it, which made him happy. He was very compassionate and a man of many talents who made every client feel like a friend. Will miss you so much, Luv.

Christy Phillips

February 19, 2014

Larry was a beautiful soul. We have been friends for 20 years. I will miss that crazy laugh and the big hugs. He was so giving and could light up a room in a heartbeat. He would have given the shirt off his back to help anyone . I wish I could walk in the shop one more time and hear him singing to the radio completely off key and then call me lover. My prayers go out to Scott and his family . Be in peace Larry and I will see you again someday!

February 19, 2014

Scott, Pat, Larry, Jan, Julie, I am so sorry for the loss of such a wonderful man. This picture captures who is was -- a bright light who just made you smile. I remember taking him to my mom's when he was little and we made Christmas cookies -- he was the life of the party even back then. I'm so blessed to have had him do my hair for my wedding and spend some time with him again. He did an amazing job as he always did. He had me laughing as he shared stories of what he had been up to. I can just see him entertaining the angels, and heaven will be even brighter with him there. Sometimes God wants to the good ones back. You all remain in my prayers. Love, Mary Ryan-Bulone

What an honor to know this man for 14 years! What a legacy he left. We will forever remember him. Every time we brush, wash, do our hair. Those bad hair days we will think of him, miss him, and remember him. Our hearts will break, when we set on that endeavor of finding someone else to beautify us. Knowing his grace, smile, laugh and talent will never, could never, be replaced. I would give anything for one more time in that chair, one more laugh, and one bigger hug. Not only was he my hairstylist, my confidant, my therapist, but my friend! He would throw the parties of the year! That stupid fur real monkey, He still had years later. I will miss him every July 16th, when we would text one another to say Happy Birthday then over inflate one another's heads! Only great people where born that day!! His dear family, I hope you can find comfort in knowing he has touched lives of so many, forever! We will never be the same! Thank you for sharing an amazing man with the rest of the world!!!!

Larry- same thing as always doll? Me- every time Larry, the same conversation. It's your hair I just wear it on my head! Larry- can I wax your eyebro

Larry started doing my hair about 18 years ago and I quickly considered him as my friend. He always had something nice to say and I am going to miss our once a month Wednesday chats at The Look more than I can say. While Larry's incredible artistic flair and overall creativity were wonderful, most impressive was his instinctive nature to do something kind. He was an extremely generous man with a huge heart and will be dearly missed.
Prayers to all of Larry's family

Larry was an amazing person who had the ability to brighten any day with just a smile. He was a good friend and I will miss him more than words can say.

February 19, 2014

The news of Larry's passing was dreadful and still today, hard to grasp. My tears flowed and I prayed my heart out for Larry after receiving the awful news. Larry was one of a kind! He made me laugh when I knew I looked like hell. We joked, laughed, talked seriously with one another. I remember he sent me a giant and gorgeous flower arrangement when I was in hospital for surgery. I was too out of it to enjoy the flowers until I got home, but the arrangement brought nurses from all over the floor to view the stunningly-beautiful flowers and laugh at his very "graphic" card regarding a "drama queen". He was so very thoughtful and caring. He went out of his way for people he cared about. After one of my surgeries, Larry came over to the house to wash and cut my hair so I would feel better about myself since I was unable to do my hair. He refused to take money from me. Like I said, he was one of a kind. I last saw Larry on February 12th and he showed me a video on his phone he thought was absolutely hilarious. He was right and I asked him to e-mail it to me. I hadn't been on the computer since he died until yesterday and there was Larry's e-mail. I'd forgotten all about it. I've saved it since it will be the last communication I'll have with my dear friend.

To Larry's mother and family, I can't express how very sad I am for your loss. I know his death has left a big hole in your hearts, but I hope you'll know that he touched so many lives in positive waysand that you will always remember that he was a wonderful human being, considerate, thoughtful, loving - just a nice, nice man with a sensitive soul. God must have bigger plans for Larry to have taken him so soon.

I will miss you, my friend. This life will seem less brighter without you in it. May perpetual light shine upon you, Larry. Rest in peace.

Hugs,
Michelle Schnapp

Murdock Family,
So very sorry for the loss of Larry! As you know he was so special to so many people! My girls adored him! Larry, if you can read this you know how special you were to me! Since growing up we always had that connection. It has been a gift to have been your friend! I'll never forgot all the texts, calls, parties. Most of all the last time I saw you I waved! I wish I would have jumped out of my car and gave you a big hug! I'll forever miss you!

Lisa Thatcher

I have known Larry for nearly twenty years. He was more than a hairdresser which is why he had so many lifetime clients. He made everyone feel beautiful and listened to everyone's troubles and worries, as well as shared our joys and happy times. As I look at this picture of such a beautiful person with a beautiful smile my heart breaks knowing we will never see him again. My heart goes out to Scott and his family and the hurt they are feeling right now. Also everyone that is just as devastated as I am. The world has lost such an amazing full of life person it is hard to believe. We will see you again in Heaven "Love" that is for sure. How ironic to lose you on Valentines Day... a day of shared love and you called everyone "love" or "lover". I don't think this man knew how loved he was... I don't think any of us realized how much we loved him. Larry you will be in our hearts forever. LOVE YOU DEARLY!!!

February 19, 2014

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

I will never forget meeting you at Subway when you would come in to get your Large Diet & Macadamia Nut cookies in those tight white shorts- our friendship started so long ago and I started having you do my hair & continued to follow you to every shop & eventually to your own shop- a dream come true. I will NEVER forget your laugh, I can hear it now fer supper! Go find Marge in heaven, she's waiting to laugh with you .
Love U Supper,

I met Larry in 1995. He was working at 5th Avenue (his first hair cutting job). I was one of his first clients after he got his license. We stayed friends ever since. I call him my friend because he was more than just my hair dresser. Larry and I supported each other through lifes challenges and laughed as much as we cried. I am devasted by his loss and will miss him more than words can ever express. Larry definitely left a legacy, always original and one-of-a-kind I think that's why we bonded so. "Thanks Lover"
