Thoughts with Sue, Larry Jr and family during this difficult time. Larry contributed so much over the years at the Gardens of Beacon Square in Florida. Larry will always be fondly remembered.

Larry has been our Florida friend and neighbor for the last 20 years. His kindness, care and concern for Sue and others was beyond measure. Whatever he did, he did heartily as unto God.
He made a great walking partner and always talked about his passion for family and God. Larry always opened our community meetings with prayer and tried to live his life as to lift others up.
Because of Larry’s unashamed Trust in Jesus, we can be assured that he is having Great talks and walks with his Savior Jesus Christ.
He always trusted John 3:16-18. God’s Gift to all who believe.
We will miss Larry! His loss leaves us with great sadness and joy in Jesus. We will be lifting his family in Prayer and Love.
Job well done our friend! Steve & Louise

Extremely sad that he will not be around to enjoy his friends as he always did. But I am sure he will have the same kind of good times in heaven with all kinds of friends. Our community has lost a terribly important figure that helped to make our community a good one in all ways. Let’s hope we can continue in the way he would want us to, enjoying our neighbors and everyone having a good time. He will love that. God Bless you Larry, and all sympathies to his family and dear friends.

My heart-felt sympathy to Sue, Larry Jr. and Jackie! I just found out about his passing, or I would have made an effort to come to his funeral tomorrow.
We had been best friends since First Grade at Holy Cross Lutheran School in Detroit (1950). Over the 75+ years since then, we have stayed in close touch and shared many good and rough times. He was so faithful to his Lord, and a devoted friend to me and others.
I am very saddened by this loss and, like so many others, I wish we could have gotten together one last time.
He was a beloved friend and I will miss him so very much.
I know God has welcomed him into heaven as a “good and faithful servant.” I look forward to seeing him again in that place.

Oh so sorry to hear of Larry passing. He and my Gordy were born on the same day a couple of years apart, and departed just under a year apart. Sue, I’m holding you in my heart. May he rest in peace.
