Chuck was my friend. We shared stories about cars and working for the USPS at the Escondido car show weekly.
Chuck was a good man, a really good man, and I will miss him.

I met Charles when I worked for his Doctor in the medical clinic before I retired.  He always had a sweet smile every time he came in to the office.  Everyone enjoyed seeing him.  We spent a Saturday together and he took me on a tour of the USSM Midway.  He was so proud of the ship and showed me many special things about her.  He was very proud of being a police officer and extremely proud that his daughter also became an officer.  I remember Charles as a very gentle man.  He was a very proud man.  He enjoyed his motorcycle and loved to take his trips to So. Dakota. He was also a collector of the miniature police cars.  I will remember him for his sweet and friendly personality.  I was trying to get in touch with him to wish him a Happy Birthday and today found out he had passed on.  I'm sure he's riding a motorcycle in the next life and keeping everyone in line with a beautiful smile on his face. 

Larry was the kind of guy you wanted to have in your life if even for a short time. I will miss him...........

His friendship was golden and I will miss him very much! Psalm 91 ✝ Respectfully yours and your friend always, Farah

Charles was a great friend for over 20 years. When you or a family member needed a ride to the ER or a ride some where else he would be there for you at any time of day or night. I had the honor to work with Charles in the USPS for more then12 years at the Claremont office. We were both Navy Vets and loved Navy jets. We volunteered at the March Air Force Museum for a spell washing the F-4 Phantoms and a A -4 Sky Hawk and much more. Charles did hid PR sewing work for many people at the Air force Base. Charles was a one of a kind friend that not many people have the gift to have, I miss him and love him has a family member. Miss Ya Larry Matthew Gorsuch

I too will miss my brother. Life was not always fair. We were separated by circumstances at an early age, but by the grace of God, he, his brother John, his sister Sandy and I were, after many years, united in 2011. In 2012 John passed. But my prayer  that were could come together, even briefly, was answered. I am sure mom, dad and both our brothers are together. And I am sure dad and both his sons, all being veterans and bikers, have many a story to tell. He will be missed greatly by my family and I. His family is also in our prayers. Loving memories never die. Rest in peace.

I will miss my brother, he and I shared a lot of good times and bad but we always loved each other no matter what. Ride on big brother Love Sandy.

I have known Larry for more than 40 years. As young Police Officers we shared work, laughs, danger and many other emotions. We lost track of each other when he left the Police Department. We renewed our relationship in retirement and shared many good times together. We worked together at the Museum, we restored a Kawasaki Police Motorcycle together and restored many other vehicles. We wore museum uniforms for parades events and ceremonies. He helped me when Mark Mendelsohn and I used our cars to make movies. We traveled together for fun and sometimes just had coffee. He was a big help with the PSA Flight 182 committee and proud of his military background. He even took me to the March Air Base Museum where he volunteered. He was very proud of his children and how far they had come. They are all great productive citizens. Larry will be missed by many. God Bless his family and Larry. Your Friend for life Rick Carlson

so saddened by larrys passing, never expected this. I knew him since I was 13 and we always had the best time. he will be missed by many, rip sailor boy

It was always a pleasure to spend time with Cousin  Larry when he came back to Pennsylvania. I enjoyed his stories , he always made me smile. I'll miss him.


To the family of Larry:

I will keep you in my prayers.

Larry was the best!  I will always remember his generosity for flying from San Diego to Pennsylvania so he could fly with me to Miami Florida for an job interview I had. I am sure he  wanted to check the area out and keep me safe. Not too many people would do that. He did not have to do it, but Larry did.  
Please remember all the good memories of Larry, he would want it like that.
