You all have my deepest sympathy. Larry is in God’s hands now, how comforting is that.
I am thinking of your family at this difficult time. I have many fond memories of Larry.
My condolences. Larry was a good man and best friend to my uncle Ken who passed in 2012. He had a good sense of humor. He will be missed.
I smile when I think of “Sledge”. I have memories of he and Ken (Byers-my father in law) at Hyvee drinking coffee and solving the worlds problems! My son, Noah, spent a lot of time there eating donuts with them! He’ll be laughing in heaven with Ken. So sorry for your loss.
Love, Angela & Noah and Avary Byers

Phillis, Sandi, Terry and your entire family, We are so saddened to hear of Larry’s passing. We knew he had been ill, but had no idea it was that serious. Larry was so kind and thoughtful and I always enjoyed visiting with him. He will be sorely missed by all of those left behind, but we must take comfort in knowing he is finally with his Heavenly Father. Our sincerest sympathies, Don and Carol Knop
