Bill I'm so sorry to hear of Larry's passing. Sending prayers for you and your family.
Sorry to hear of Larry's passing remembering you in our prayers
My brother in law for many years. So sad to hear of his passing, but happy to know that he is at peace and reunited with Susan.
My condolences to the family of Larry. Prayers are being sent their way.
I knew Larry for many school years. I always enjoyed his company and especially performing music with him. He was a great man and a great musician. You did take your tuba with you, didn't you, Larry?
Sending condolences to Larry's family. He took over conducting the Fist Christian church choir. My dad sat in tears watching Larry conduct his first Easter cantata and was proud to pass his baton. Dad knew Larry was up to the task and gave his service to the Lord with love and humility. Rest in peace, Larry. I am sure you are singing His praises in heaven. In Christ, Janna Cosby class of '74 and daughter of Billie and Prentiss Cosby
Prayers to the family. Sorry to hear about your loss.
We have a lot of good memories of Larry from the past - playing the tuba at church and with the school pep band and musicals, singing in the church choir and even directing the choir for awhile. One time at church he presented a mini-concert playing a variety of songs on the tuba. I believe he was accompanied by Jan on the organ. There was one pretty memorable Sunday school class Halloween party when he had quite an unusual costume - ask us sometime : ) May God bless you all during this time of loss.
Prayers for the family!
We are so sorry to hear of Larry's passing. I (Mac) went to high school with Larry, played in bands with him, and always appreciated his way of looking at life. He truly was a great guy to play music with.
Bill and family: I am sorry to hear of Larry's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
My condolences to family. I grew up in Xenia, went to high school at Flora and knew both Larry and Susan from high school. I was hoping he would be at our 50th class reunion in September.
