He was a good-hearted person.We will miss him.
I loved visiting my cousin Larry when we were growing up. He has always been in my life and I will miss him.
I have very fond memories of when we did get to visit him, although I wish it could have been more.
Thank you for your long service to the US Army.
Larry was a great man and a great friend for the past 8 years. Was always so helpful and cared so much about what was going on in my life when no one else did. He may not be blood but he was family sometimes only family. Never once did he turn his back on me but help guild me.
Larry became a dear friend through our shared membership and worship at Unity Church of Peace, Jefferson City.
Larry was the best friend anyone could have. In fact he was the the best man at my wedding. We met in the Army at Fitzsimmons General Hospital in 1973. He was the most giving man that ever lived and truly asked for nothing in return. He will be missed beyond what words can say.
When I learned about Larry passing my heart broke. I was not given a lot of information about his passing or when his service was. I was only able to say a little prayer for him.
Larry and I met when I was teenager, I was best friends with the girl living next door to him. Larry was like a second father to me. I adored our conversations and looked forward to seeing him when he made the trips out to Aurora, CO. Larry had such a great spirit and always wanted to help people. Over the years it was sad to see him be taken advantage of by people he wanted to help. I will always miss him and pray he is at peace with the Lord.
