When I was just a young kid, Larry put me to work baling hay, taught me to drive a truck/trailer, and gave me confidence I needed. I never forgot Larry and what he instilled in me. 

Just learned of the tragedy when calling Larry's cell to check on him and his farming season. What a giving and gentle soul! Prayers for all y'alls comfort and strength. May God fill you with His peace and continuously bring laughter and joy to you with fond memories. Heaven has gained another saint.

My dear friend ,Gloria. You are in my prayers during this time of grief. I am so sorry for your loss. Larry was a very good man and loved you so much. Hugs and kisses to you.

Larry and I went way back.  He was a true friend.

Gloria, I am so sorry for your loss of Larry. He was a wonderful man. Praying the Lord will give you peace and comfort during this time. Love, Seneca and Kira

Larry was a great friend! He was always there if you needed him. We will miss him and are forever grateful God gave us the privilege of being his friend. Love and prayers to the whole family. We will all see him again one day in heaven!

Gloria and Family, I am so sorry for the loss of your husband and Dad! I pray that God will give you the strength that you need to get through this!  Sandra Gurley Barnett

Gloria and family, we said a prayer for you today, that God would touch you with his healing hand and give you the comfort and peace you need to get through this time. 

 Why do you weep? We weep, as we were not ready for Larry to rejoin you, O Lord. We knew this day would come but we were not ready for this. It was a shock to loss him so quickly. As we mourn his death and our loss, we have to remember that he was given to us for this time on Earth. We were blessed to have such a love for him and fond memories. 

However, the death of Larry should not be the time to weep, for he has gone and shall not return. 

It is the time for rejoicing, for the Lord, our God, has brought Larry, his child, home to sit by Him. Boy, I can hear the tails and the stories between you two.
 
This is a time for all to remember the great times that were shared between Larry and us. It is hard not to be selfish and wish him back. For he has gained what every human desire Eternal Peace. 

 Peace and love to you, 

 Bob and Andrea Eckenberg (Mattawa, WA)

Gloria and Family,
We can't begin to tell you how this tragedy breaks our hearts.  Please know that you are being lifted up in prayer all across Texas. We love you and will continue to ask God to comfort you in the loss of precious Larry.

I'm so saddened to hear this. I have fond memories of visiting Tennessee only a few years back and am grateful we were able to spend time with both of you. You both are some of the kindest people we've ever met. My heart aches for you.

My heart goes out to the family. I met Larry when I was in the 7th grade at Cordova School where his dad was my teacher. We were at a dinner and he sat next to me. He was sweet and I saw him through the years from time to time. He was always the same sweet and very kind. I knew his mother Mrs. Frankie a great lady always ready to help you. May God help you through the next few days.

"Our hearts are deeply saddened for all, Gloria and family.  Larry and you are truly an inspiration in our lives and Larry will be greatly missed.  Our sympathy and prayers are with you and your entire family.  God bless you all!" Our Love, Randy & Liz & Renee and Matthew & Courtney & Harper Britten (Bryan, Texas)

My heart is breaking for you, my dear friend Gloria! There are no words, other than I love you and sending prayers to you and your family! You and Larry will reunite in a much better place. Love you, sweet girl!

Gloria and family- We are so sad to hear of your loss of Larry.  Gloria, It was always heartwarming to see the two of you - walking with hands entwined together.  Larry has left this world, but from my visits with you Gloria, I know your faith will sustain you until you are together again.  Our prayers and arms are wrapped around you at this difficult time.

It is with  a heavy heart and great sadness that I offer my sympathy and condolences to Gloria, to Larry's children and grandchildren, to Kathy and to Chuck and his family.  Larry was a special person with a willingness to always help others.  He had a dry sense of humor and a ready smile.  For all the years I knew him Larry loved farming....cows, tractors, trucks, soybean yields  and he was always ready to talk farming.   Larry will surely be missed by many but he left behind wonderful memories for everyone to cherish.  May these memories be a comfort to his loved ones.

Gloria and family  thoughts and prayers are with you all always enjoyed visiting with you-yes I'm sure all your memories will help but still so hard.
    Kay Eckenberg

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
