Eleanor, It is with deep sadness I read of Larry’s passing. He was so full of life and fun. He was such a character. He and you welcomed me into your fold at church. I will miss him terribly.

What a fun loving, good looking, heck of an Uncle! Larry was a unique soul that could always keep you laughing. So sorry to see pain cause him so much discomfort. Keeping Aunt Eleanor and the rest of the family in our thoughts and prayers. Great man…he will be truly missed. I hope there are cars in Heaven because he will love that! RIP ❤️
We are sorry to hear of your loss of Larry. We always enjoyed seeing him and you, Eleanor, at the women’s NE basketball games when they were still held at the Devaney. He was always upbeat with a smile despite having some difficulty in getting around. I imagine he was really enjoying his Packers this year. We hope that your family has many positive memories of him to sustain you now and in the future.
We are heartbroken at the loss of our “church grandpa” Larry. We loved getting to know him through church and will cherish his memory. Drake and Maddox always looked forward to seeing him and loved it when he teased them. We were honored to know him and will miss him dearly.
Larry was one of our favorite customers, in fact he was like family. He loved to come in and talk about his car, or about how he purchased a new car against his wife’s desire. We will never forget his charm and humor. His appreciation of our work was never unnoticed. This holiday season we will miss him bringing in his wife’s treats for the mechanics. Love to Larry and his family. – Firestone 66th Street
Eleanor, sending my sympathy on the death of Larry. May you have strength and peace as you face the difficult days ahead. Your former neighbor, Pat Riggins
Eleanor, we are so very sorry for your loss. We have such fond memories of our mall walking group birthday celebrations. Larry was always so much fun – and we appreciated his “banter” and sense of humor so much. May God’s peace comfort you during this very difficult part of your life’s journey. Our love to you, Marge & Bill
