Larry was a special man and holds a special place in my heart.
I am truly sorry for your loss and would like to offer Pat and family my sincere condolences. I am glad that Dewey and I were able to visit with Larry, Pat, Diane, and Susie some years back. Our cousin Larry was a man of many talents and a kind and gentle soul that I will never forget. His piano playing was superb and his rendition of Floyd Cramer’s “Last Date” was the best I have ever heard anyone play and I’m hearing him playing it now as I think of him. Larry was one of my father Ralph’s favorite nephews and he spoke fondly of him often.
Larry was one of the best brother-in- law’s a person could have. Tommy and I will miss you very much. We have many memories of all the good times we had together. Our thoughts and prayers to Pat and family. It’s not good bye, but see you again soon.
Larry was a great neighbor. He certainly loved his Fords and his dogs. I can remember hearing him play the piano from across the road. He was always doing projects in the yard, and when he wasn’t able, he would sit and watch Pat. He will be missed.
So Sorry to hear about your husband . You and your family are in my prayers.
Just want to send my sincere condolences to Pat and the family. I have many memories of fun times at NAPA with Larry and missed seeing him each day. I will treasure the memories of him singing while he was turning cranks. His George Jones, He Stopped Loving Her Today was my favorite. My thoughts and prayers are with you all today and in the days to come.
