Michelle and Doug,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your entire family. Larry really loved his business and truly appreciated his customers. I know he was always patient as I was trying to make decisions on my roofing project.
The Bush Family
We are at a loss for words during this sorrowful time, but please know that Corey and I are thinking of you and praying for peace and comfort for you and your family. Hugs
Dear Michelle, Doug and Family,
Mike and I are in shock and deeply saddened at this news. Larry was a kind and gentle man and he will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Our thoughts are with you as you cope with this unexpected loss. Please know you can call on us for any help that you might need. Linda
Dear Michelle and family, my mother and I were saddened to hear this news. Larry was always so kind and thoughtful. Sending healing prayers and comforting hugs to you all as you celebrate Larry’s remarkable life. He will be missed. With our love and friendship always, Kiki and Peppy Manthos
With heavy hearts we have to say goodbye to one of our dearest friends. From weddings, gatherings, watching our families grow over the past 35 years we will always remember our Avon N.C. vacations especially our honeymoon when we all meet local Cyril Gray who taught us a lot about fishing the Outer Banks. To all the fond memories and fun times that pursed we will always hold these stories close to our hearts. To Michelle, Doug and Family our love, prayers and support are with all of you.
I was saddened to hear the news of Larry. It has been some 40 years since we had seen each other but I can recall the fond memories of our youth growing up in Palisades. Always a smiling face and such a great guy. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this most difficult time.
Michelle & Doug, It is with much sympathy that I reach out to you at this time. I will always remember the kindness and warm feeling from Larry. May you find peace with family and friends during this difficult time. Much Love, Thomas
Please accept my heartfelt sympathies. My heart goes out to the family. Death is something we will never get use to. In fact, God’s Word refers to death as an enemy (1 Corinthians 15:26). It is comforting to know that very soon our loving Heavenly Father, Jehovah, will remove death once and for all and give us the opportunity to see our loved ones again here on the earth.
