Runyon Family

I was sorry to learn of Larry's passing. I was fotunate enough to have worked with him for the better part of 15 years. He was always willing to help you learn and was one of the few that every one looked to during a crisis at work. I also enjoyed going hunting with him a few times. I wish you all God's peace during this difficult time.

I am sadden to learn of Larry's death. I meet him in the first grade many years ago. It was great seeing him at the reunions the last couple years and having time to visit with him.
He was a great friend to me and to a lot of his classmates. We will remember him and his family in or thoughts and prayers.

Dear Runyon Family,
I am extremely sorry to hear about Larry. I had the pleasure of working with him at Honeywell prior to his retirement. He was a wonderful person and will be missed by many of us. God bless all of you.

To The Runyon Family:
May Jehovah God be with you during this difficult time. God revealed in his word the Bible that it is his purpose that those who have fallen asleep in death be restored to life by means of a resurrection. Jesus Christ himself said that John 5:28&29 that "all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out." When death separates family members, such a great loss can result in deep sorrow. Even the perfect man Jesus gave way to tears when his Friend, Lazarus, died even though he knew that he had the power and he intended to bring him back to life. Because of the hope a future resurrection, I hope that your sorrow is not unrelenting. Continue to have complete reliance on "the God of all comfort" and he will help you to endure. ( 2Cor 1:3&4)
