I was so sorry to hear of Larry's illness and recent passing. Larry and I worked together at Mercantile for many years. He was such a kind and loving person . Larry always took time to
speak to his friends and offer words of encouragement when needed. His family was the most important part of his life. I know he was very happy to have Jeff and Cindy and he was so proud of you both. As you know Larry loved babies and children and I am sure he spoiled his grandchildren with love and kindness. Donna, Larry loved you very much and always spoke of you with love and pride. When I think of Larry I will always remember his friendship which meant a lot to all who knew him and the kindness he showed to all his co-workers through the years. He will certainly be missed by all who knew him. My sympathy to his family and friends.

Hello Donna,
I wanted to offer my condolences. Duane and Larry remained friends long after their years at Mercantile. Duane spoke so kindly of Larry and truly treasured his friendship. I will always remember Larry's smiling face. Now they are reunited in Heaven spending time together sharing stories. If you need to reach out please feel free to contact me. Wendy Bennett

Please accept my deepest sincere condolences during this time of grief. My hope is that the words of Christ Jesus be comforting, when he stated that "the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out" (John 5: 28, 29). We can also take comfort in God's personal promise to "wipe out every tear" and that soon, even "death will be no more" (Revelation 21: 4) May you look to the Bible for comfort from our creator, Jehovah God.
