    Joyce, Steve, Ron, Carrie
    I am so very sorry for your loss
    It’s hard to know what to say at times like this
    As we age, so do all of our friends
    And our circle of friends gets smaller
    May the gift of time offer you all some
    peace knowing that Larry suffers no more
    God calls all of us home sooner or later
    You know what they say — only the good die young
    Rest in peace Larry

    Joyce and family

    I am sorry to hear of the passing of Larry. Had many many good times over the years of my life with that man. From watching the jungle joose jets as a kid, many snowmobile trips ,visits to the shed and many family get togethers. When he was out for his daily tours he would occasionally stop in just to check out my home projects and see how things were going. I am pleased to say that i have had the privilege to see Larry more frequently over the past few years at Steve’s house. When I was having a tough day I would head to Steve’s to most often find Larry and family which always made my day better. I will cherish those memories forever. Thinking of you all

    Dearest MacGregor family,
    Such a loss for you and our little community. Who will we banter with about the Detroit Lions and other underdogs that Larry supported. I was always so amazed at his memory regarding so many sports teams and his knowledge of their history and his quiet shy way until you got him fired up, lol.
