We’re sending love and prayers your way..Karyn is here today and joins us. Remember the promise that those who mourn will be comforted…Larry will be missed, but would never want to return, and that’s as it should be. We love you.
I worked with Larry many years in the spoc department downtown at GTE and Verizon. He was a good friend and co-worker and I’ll always remember his calm demeanor in a stressful job environment. We all miss him.

Larry was such a pleasure to work with at Generous Tel. It’s nice to see that the picture posted here captured ’that grin’. Yup, that’s Larry…
What memories you in the family must have! You in the family can rest assured that his friends and phone-trash associates have some precious ones, too.
“Now the labourer’s task is o’er,
Now the battle day is past,
Now upon the farther shore,
Lands the voyager, at last.
Father, in Thy gracious keeping,
Leave we now, Thy servant, sleeping.
.
Earth to earth, and dust to dust,
Calmly now the words we say;
Left behind, we wait and trust,
For the resurrection day.
.
Father, in Thy precious keeping,
Leave we now, thy servant, sleeping.”
.
You are in our prayers.
We are shocked and saddened to hear the news. Our hearts and prayers are with the whole family.

sorry not much on email. I met some of you at Larry’s retirement. Larry spoke of you all the time. His family was his light. The grands, kids and of course his beautiful wife. I am so sorry for your loss and think of you every day.

Dad,
I never knew a stronger yet more gentle man than you. You were my rock at times in my life when I didn’t feel like anyone else believed in me. You always seemed to have to right words to say. I already miss calling you almost every morning just to say hi and hear your voice. You always were and forever will be the most important man in my heart. I love and miss you so much Daddy.

Julie, I don’t know if you are still reading this, but if you are, I want you to know that Larry’s love is still alive in the world.
Rusty
wow papa. a month and 10 days and I’m still grieving and in denial.the 11 years I knew you I will cherish forever.I miss you and can’t wait untill its my time;because you’ll be waiting for me in heaven.goodbye for now see you soon.
The dreams never stop. After 9 months and 5 days my heart still isn’t mended. I miss you so much. Words can’t describe how much I miss you . I went to grief camp. I finally wrote how I feel about all of this. I hope the message I tied to a balloon reached you in heaven. I love you papa.
People say you move on with your life; I disagree. It’s been almost 2 years and every time I think about you, or even see a picture of you I burst into tears. So yeah I haven’t moved on yet and I never will. I loved you to much to just “move on” with my life. So people can believe what they believe, but this deep sorrow for the hole in my heart will never heal, It will continue to ache, and I will continue to mourn.
love you dad..dry we weren’t closer..aloft of that was me..r.I.p.
Just heard that you have passed away, always
Liked working with you at GTE. God bless.
