Uncle Buddy will be greatly missed. He had a quiet yet feisty personality and a dry wit. I always enjoyed the time spent in his company. I am honored that he was my uncle. I am sorry that I was unable to attend the funeral as I was out of state at the time.

My heart and prayers go out to the family. I knew Larry for many years. He was a great boss and a great friend. I will miss him.

Larry was a very good person. I am very sad at
his passing. He will be missed by many. Those of us
who knew him were the lucky ones to be able to call upon him as a friend. I will remember him as a very
kind person who always made me smile.
I only knew Larry a short time. The times we were together will always be cherished.My thoughts and prayers are with you and others that crossed your path.
Peter and family,
Thelma, Charlotte, Eddie, Roger, and Rose are thinking of you and your family and wish to express our condolences at this time. God Bless
I am so saddened for your loss. I have known Larry since 1961, when I lived in Richmond. My Deepest Sympathy.

I have seen this poem used previously but it seems to fit just now:
AM ALWAYS WITH YOU
When I am gone, release me, let me go.
I have so many things to see and do,
You mustn't tie yourself to me with too many tears,
But be thankful we had so many good years.
I gave you my love, and you can only guess
How much you've given me in happiness.
I thank you for the love that you have shown,
But now it is time I traveled on alone.
So grieve for me a while, if grieve you must
Then let your grief be comforted by trust
That it is only for a while we must part,
So treasure the memories within your heart.
I won't be far away for life goes on.
And if you need me, call and I will come.
Though you can't see me or touch me, I will be near
And if you listen with your heart you'll hear
All my love around you soft and clear
And then, when you come this way alone,
I'll greet you with a smile and a "Welcome Home".
Larry will be greatly missed by so many, but is now at home, whole again and at peace.
