Dear Diane,  I just got the news about Lary.  Me and Diane are going to miss him so much.  He always had a way to make you smile.  Though we did not get together that much anymore, I loved him no less than ever.  I wish we could have been there with you on the 19th to say goodbye and happy 31st.  I know you will carry the many happy years of memories with you.  Our deepest condolences.

Dear Diane,  We are so sorry to hear about Lary.  Dan Hayes just called me and said that Pete Kittle just told him about it.  I wish I would have known, we will miss him very much.  He was a wonderful friend that could always make you smile.  Our sincerest condolences go to you.  I wish we could have been there with you to say goodbye and wish you a happy 31 years of marriage.

To The Harte Family,
We are lifting you in prayer.  Mr. Harte will truly be missed.

Diane,  The world is going to be much less funny with Lary gone.  We are so sorry and we will keep you in our prayers.  Kaci, Jerry and the girls.

Denjah & Family,

  I am sorry for the lose of you father. I saw notes of sympathy stating that your father had a great sense of humor, so Denjah, you must take after him. May all of you be blessed with wonderful memories of your father and may these memories help soothe your souls. God bless you all! Kari Flowers

Dear Diane and family.
  I always enjoued conversations with Diane and Lary, He had a very good sense of humor, and was a very loving family man. I am so sorry for your loss.

WOW-Just found out today and I am still in shock.
I first meet Lary in 1980 when he came to my Chiropractic clinic with a severe back injury. He was the kindest most giving person I have ever known. He helped me move my VERY heavy adjusting tables to 2 new offices and never asked for anything in return. He was always friendly and willing to help anyone with anything. He would always come early for his appointment so he would have time to drink coffee and talk with EVERYONE in the waiting room.
Lary, i will always remember your smiling face and all the good deeds you did for others. I will miss you my friend. I will never forget you.
Dr Kittle

Denjah, My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Diane-

We are so sorry to hear about the sudden passing of Lary. He was such a huge help to us throughout our time in Lansing, and we really enjoyed the long talks over beers at the fence between our yards. Always generous with his time and energy, he was a true steward of the neighborhood and community at large. Our thoughts are with you and your family.

Love, Chris & Hill

Diane and Family,
Lary was an incredible man that was always willing to lend a helping hand to those that needed him.   I always envied the relationship that you both had and hoped that my own marriage would be as strong and fun as the two of yours.   My deepest condolences to you all.   Love and Miss you, Lucia

Diane and family...We at Home Sweet Home are terribly saddened by the loss of such a good, kind,and fun man. Larry was always a joy to be around. Since Peggy moved away we have missed you all and especially meeting Larry at the coffee pot.  Remember we are extended family and are here for you as you travel a new and much different path.

Dear Mrs. Harte, Heather and family, 

My family and I are so sad to hear about Mr. Harte.  He was so dear to us and we all loved spending time with him when we came to visit.  May God comfort you all during this time.
  
Love, Kelsey Smith (Dewitt, MI)

Diane,

Please accept our sincerest sympathy at Lary's passing. We were at Melling when he hired in but lost touch ofter its closing.

Diand and family.  I was shocked and saddened to see Lary's obituary in today's paper. The picture reminded me of the many times I saw that smile.  My thoughts are with you all.  I know you will miss him greatly.

Diane, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.  I'm so very sorry for your loss.  Lary was so warm, genuine, fun, and always helpful.  I so enjoyed all our impromptu visits when we were both outside hanging out, showing him the house projects I was working on and getting his feedback on what he thought, talking about the huge, awful, half-dead tree in front of my house and how we wished the City would cut it down :-), etc.  Lary's smiling face and infectious laugh will be very missed by everyone in the neighborhood.

Harte Family: I am saddened I did not have the opportunity to meet Mr. Harte before his sudden passing.  However, his memory will be passed along here at work as now I recognize where Denjah gets her huge smile from.  God Bless you and your family during this difficult time.

Harte Family: I am saddened that I didn't have the opportunity to meet Mr. Harte before his unexpected passing.  However, his memory will be passed along to everyone at work as I now recognize where Denjah gets her huge smile from.  My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Happy birthday, Dad. There are not enough words that exist to express how much I miss you. I love you so much. The impromptu games of basketball in the driveway, the sudden explosion flurry of snowballs, that ear to ear grin eating oysters, and just the normal sunday morning breakfasts. You were my hero, Dad. Always there when I needed you, and even when I didn't I needed you when I just wanted your company. Daddy's girl.  Happy birthday, Dad. I miss you and love you, so much!!!
– Denjah

Mrs. Harte, Heather & family: my family and I are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers. Elizabeth J
