#11 Jim Rifenberg 2012-10-17 12:17 Judy and I send our thoughts and prayers to Larry's family. We grieve your loss with you, knowing all the while that Larry has been promoted Home, where a place, wonderful beyond words, has been prepared for him. No pain, no sorrow forever for Larry. We take comfort from knowing that, but it still hurts. I loved talking and joking with him. His son John married Jan, one of our favorite nieces. Larry must have trained him well. Quote

#12 Ken & Gloria Huber 2012-10-17 14:31 Ken and I send our sincere sympathy to Marion and the family. 73 seems young, but we are rejoicing with you that Larry is with the Lord. Troubles, pain and sickness all over. May the Spirit of God comfort you who are left to grieve this great loss. Our prayers for you all, Gloria Quote

#14 Shelly Seager 2012-10-22 09:21 We just heard of Larry's passing and we're sorry that we missed the celebration! We have many fine memories of Larry. We still talk about the weeks that we all crammed in the station wagon, on our way to church league bowling. We laughed until we hurt and then continued our adventure to Burger King, after bowling, because there just wasn't enough time to hear all the weekly jokes. I remember watching Larry in awe, so often at Health Trac. He worked so hard to save his legs, to fight diabetes and I couldn't believe his spirit, inspite of it all. I pray you will all continue to be blessed with the memories of Larry until we all meet again…and I hope he has a good joke to tell when that day comes. Quote
