Dear Wanda, Michael, Chris and Aaron -

We are so very sad to hear about Larry's passing. Whenever we think of him, we will remember how brave he was, but mostly what a truly nice man he always was! You knew how important you all were to him. He loved his family so much - and golf was a close second! We have many fond memories as we know you do too. We wish you God's peace and blessings as you struggle with your loss.

Love, thoughts and prayers - Mike and Linda Flora

Wanda and family,
I would like to pass along my deepest sympathy in the passing of your husband and father, Larry. I didn't know him for a long time, but in our few meetings he left a lasting impression, and took me to places i never thought I would see. I will miss Larry and may God bless his soul. See you soon.

Wanda & Family,

Larry was a one of a kind! He was a thoughtful man who showed high integrity, compassion, ethical standards, and a solid value system. He also had a wonderful sense of humor and when faced with tough challenges he never backed down. It was an honor to work with him and experience the joy of his friendship. I was so honored when as a Human Resources person, Larry extended to me the honor of being invited to be a regular attendee of his daily production planning meeting.

Wanda, I must say that my life is much richer because Larry was a part of it, and he extended the same invitation to be a part of his. The respect that he showed me demonstrated the value he placed in my contributions to his team.

May God continue to bless you and may his legacy live on for many years to come.

Randy

Please accept my deepest sympathies.

Words can't express what I'm feeling right now. I know we should celebrate your life and the fact that your battle is over along with all of the pain. Larry was one of the best friends I ever had. He always showed faith in me as a Manager/Supervisor, taught me alot but I think what I remember most was the time we spent together away from work playing golf....We both loved it so much...and one day we'll both get to play all of the golf we want to. I'll love you forever my friend...See You In Heaven. Rick Taylor

To, Wanda, Michael, Chris, and Aaron,

I send my deepest regards. Larry was a strong man and I am sure his strength and courage will help see you through such a trying time. Although I wasn't fortunate enough to get to know my uncle on a very personal level due to geographical distances, his memory and desire to fight will never be forgotten.

Words can't express the sadness I feel learning of Larry's passing. I have known him since 1975, worked with and for him for many years. Larry was a great boss. Always trying to improve his people's standing in the workplace through training, guidance, and monetary compensation. On the day I was released from my employment with Marconi, he had the unfortunate task of giving me the news. He did this with compassion and concern for my future well being and I will never forget that. He will live on in our hearts forever. God Bless the family and comfort them in this time of sorrow.
