I read about Larry's passing on the Internet today, and was so sorry to hear of his passing. I was Larrys basketball and football coach. He was an outstanding young man, as well as a great athlete and I think of him often. You are very lucky to have ad Larry with you over the years. There will be a lot of sadness in the passing of Larry. Please accept my condolences.

I remember Larry well, I went to school with him in Caseville, Michigan. It is with great sorrow that I only now find out where Larry went I remember him riding his horse and his long legs that seem to wrap around the mid-section of the horse as he rode bareback. I ask that the Lord watch over his soul and guide him in his journey, I also ask the Lord to watch over his family in this hour of grief, keep them well and safe. I ask this in Jesus's name. Amen.

We will all miss Larry. He was a wonderful, funny, quick witted and caring man. Nick and Zac will miss him alot, he was their Grandpa Larry, too. They would always wonder what Larry was doing and have to bug him whenever he was trying to get things done. He was the grandpa they would get to see all of the time - Chris's grandpa.While we cannot image what you are going through, Joel and I will miss him as well. We know how great it is to find that special person, your sole mate or maybe your "fantasy man". Betty and Larry are a great example of what love is. Alot of people will go through their entire life and never know love like Betty and Larry have. We are so very lucky to have known Larry. We love you, Betty and we are here for you.
