Dear Linda and Family,
Although we've lost contact in the last couple of years, Larry has always been (over 40 years) a dependable, helpful, caring friend.
We always enjoyed his unexpected telephone calls and when he and Linda would drop by our house.
We will greatly miss Larry and his enjoyable, easy-going ways. Our deepest sympathy goes out to you, Linda, and the entire Capps' family!
We are praying for the Lord's comfort and peace for the entire Capps' family.

Sincerely,
Rodger and Connie Peterson

Dear Linda,

I am SO sorry to hear "Cuz" has passed on. I just can't believe it. He was one of the few people you just figured was immortal. Please call anytime.

My dear Mrs. Wau,

My heart aches for you! I am so sad about the sudden loss of your larger than life man.

Mr. Wau was unique and definitely danced to his own beat. When they made him, they broke the mold so there would never be anyone else like him.

I can't help but wander down memory lane and have a few chuckles over Larry's antics. There were so many memorable ones to muse and laugh over.

I hope we all remember the good times and celebrate the life he lived with gusto!

Love and hugs to you, Linda!

Maria

Dear Linda, Kim, Larry, Kristi and Tim and the whole family!

What a man! I loved Larry from the first time I met him. Who couldn't love the guy? He was so good to my cousin, Linda. Larry and Linda's marriage was a great example to so many of the kind of marriage and partnership we all want. You certainly have inspired me.

He loved his family and cared for each of you so much. He gave you the knowledge of hard work and great rewards as well as high principles as their own rewards. He prepared you for life!

He would have done anything for his family and friends and they in return would do the same for Larry and his family.

The measure of a man is often how he is loved and respected. Larry was a GREAT GIANT of a MAN.

Linda, Larry loved you so much! He always spoke of you with love and affection in his voice, his words and his face. It made me so happy to see just how happy you and LC were together. Besides, who else would let me call him ELSIE?!?!

I am proud that he called Tom and me cousins and friends.

Linda, if there is anything you want or need any time or any place, Tom and I are there--just call.

We will make a gift to the Cardiac Cath Lab at TG in loving memory of Cousin Larry.

With love always,

Juli and Tom
