Dear Soos Family,

To all the Soos family.
So very sorry for your loss, Larry was a great guy. I know he will be missed by so many. Always ready with a story. One hell of a mechanic. In his younger days, quite a dancer.
Memory will have to serve all of his loved ones he left behind, and I'm sure you will have some good ones to remember.
Prayers and strength are sent to you at this time of sorrow.
God's blessings to each and every.

It seems just months not years ago that we roamed the halls of Barringon High School. I sometimes wonder how we actually managed to attend class and graduate. Larry never changed, he was the same from the first time we met him until the last. He was one of a kind!

I was just notified and was in shock. I've lived in Hawaii for the past 4 1/2 years and have lost contact with alot people. My deepest thoughts go to the whole family. We had such great times with Larry and Mary ann at those high school parties at there home.Seeing Larry's smile at the casinos or just stopping by for a cold beer at the North End Tavern. To Tami and Terry I wish the best and Im so sorry for your lost.

Larry,
I hope this message finds you resting well in the perfect afterlife with every tool known to man including ones we haven't thought of yet.
I know we haven't spoke in over 20 years but I have many fond memories. You fixed my cars so many times I can't begin to remember all of them. I'm glad the bill got lost in the mail somewhere. Thank you for all of that.
Mary Ann, Tami, Terry & family my thoughts are with you.

Larry ("The Fonz") Soos was one of a kind. He taught us all how to live life with courage, zest and purpose.
His smiling face and sense of humor will surely be missed at our future class reunions.

So many wonderful memories of Larry but one that will stay with many of us forever is how courageous he was at the end. Our love and admiration to Maryann, Tami and Terry, their children and the many friends who made Larry's passing so peaceful and gracious.

Larry never missed a high school reunion and all in the class were anxious to see him and hear all the new stories. We loved seeing him at the mini-reunion at Sandy and Al Meyer's. The Archibald story I believe was captured on tape by Sandy Schroeder. When we get together in 2009, Larry will continue to be part of the Class of "59, and we will raise our glasses in his memory. Dick and I were part of the Wyoming group. How wonderful that we called just before he passed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Larry's family. He will be missed.

Our hearts are heavy with sadness, but we will forever remember the laughs and love we shared. We will miss you, Lar.

I will always remember Larry having the fridge stocked with "Rainier" whenever I came to visit. Also, the early "quite early" morning breakfasts. Larry was the kind of man you wanted your sister married to and will be missed.

Lar's a special guy, always had a joke to tell you, whether it was clean, or dirty. LOL. I will always have great memories of our Friday get together dinners, drinking beer with you and being part of your Harem. I will miss you Stud!

When I think of Larry, I can do nothing but put a huge smile on my face. He was truly a prince of a man and will be missed by all who've known him. I have many fond memories of Christmas Eve Black Jack tourneys and even a few Reno Nights at the Elks. Mary Ann, Tami and Terry, I am so very sorry for your loss. I wish you love and strength during this most difficult time.

Larry, I am sure going to miss you . You were a great neighbor and a Dear Friend. You were a great father image to many who knew you especially Roger. He had the most respect for you.He learned alot from you. It was great how you could call one another if he needed help with something you were there.If you needed a hand he was there. I was kinda mad when you moved because I had no one to pump up my lawn mower tire or fix something for me . I would have to wait till Roger got home.But then again we have your wonderful family so its ok.You have touched so many people. You will be missed....Love Cindy and Rog

"Hey Dee, come here, I got a joke for ya." Famous "Lar" words. Always smiling, good hearted, ready to help whenever needed--that was "our" Larry. I say "our" Larry, because "Lar" belonged to so many of us. Beer and tomato juice, Red Wind Casino, Packwood, family gatherings and meetings in the Hiatt garage -- memories of good times. Larry I will miss you. I feel very blessed to have had the honor of calling you my friend and to be included as part of your family. My love and symphathy to Mary Ann, Tami, Ben, Tyler Bryah, Terry, Cyndi, Katey, Forrest, Kayla and Marshall. "Lar" was a priceless individual, well loved by family and friends. Here's to you "Lar" -- job well done my friend!
