Memories; I am so thankful that we shared so many memories. Larry left us all way too soon & he will be missed by so many. We had such a great time at Lear & had begun to spend time just being together, shooting our guns, camping, eating out ect. it was all fun & Lewis & I were not ready to slow down, we finnally take time to play & the Lord took you home, We did not want to say goodbye but are very thankful for the time we had. We laughed, cried, worked hard to raise our kids, built some fine Learjets together, we had a great crew & grew up together, you will always be in our hearts.
Thru the good & bad times you was always our friend, you had many friends & we all was proud to be yours ! This is a very hard lesson , we all know it will happen someday & I am very glad you knew we loved you , I just wish we had had more time. Rest in Peace as I beleive we will meet again ! God Bless all that loved you & may these tears soon turn to a smile as we alll think of you & hang onto our memories.

I was so sorry to hear of Larry's passing. He was my cousin but I'm ashamed to say that it has been a long time since I've seen him---at a family reunion at Budweiser's hospitality room. Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers. May your memories help you through the difficult times. Bill & Allie Holt were my parents.

Larry was our cousin; we used to raise some hell--Bud was even in on this stuff. He was way to young to leave this old world. We'll be thinking of you all. Our folks were Bill & Allie Holt.
