To the family,
Mike, Michelle, Melinda and all of your beautiful family. My prayer for you all is that in the days, weeks, months to come, you will be comforted by the many wonderful memories that you have of Larry. I will always remember his robust, and infectious laugh, I can hear him right now in the Legion, “Hey there kid, how are those beautiful daughters of yours”. I will miss him greatly, but I will always remember his generous self. Please let me know how I can help…no hesitation. Many blessings,
Patty Styles-Phillips and Family

What a great picture of Larry. Brings back lots of memories of our high school days in Allerton IA. I was part of the percussion group with him. He was such a joy, enjoyed life and just great to be around. I am thinking of you all today as you lay him to rest and wish I were there. May you know God’s comforting presence, his faithful love and may his peace carry you through.
With heartfelt sympathy and all my love,
