We would like to extend our sympthy and condolences to Linda and family during this very diffacult time. I will always remember the years I worked with Larry at Maytag, Illinois Air National Guard, and when we were deployed for Destert Storm. We had many good times playing softball, hunting, and fishing over the years.

We were always friends. I reflect fondly on our time in Galesburg and our friendship. May God bless you and comfort Linda during these difficult times. Life is never fair nor understandable, it's something we just do. To all your family and friends, I wish you peace.

Linda and girls,
So sorry to hear about Larry's passing. I knew he'd been sick, but the last I'd heard he was doing better. I'll be thinking about all of you and will keep you in my heart. If I can be of any help, please let me know.
