Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. The Ohio Gray Family sends their love. Larry was an outstanding guy. We are deeply sorry for your loss. Love to all

  2. TO THE MARTIN FAMILY SO SORRY TO HEAR THE LOSS OF LARRY, HE WAS A GOOD GUY. MY THOUGHTS ARE WITH ALL OF YOU. LINDA WILL MAN

  3. Larry dated my mother, Cindy Willeford, for 13 years. He had a big heart and put up with a lot of teenage nonsense. There is no way to single out one memory shared. There are many great ones. He was so smart and a lot of fun. Condolences for the family and he will truly be missed by many.

  4. May the love of family and friends help in coping with your sadness. Our loving Father, Jehovah God and his son, Jesus Christ, promise to soon removed all suffering and death of our loved ones forever. (Revelation 21:3, 4; John 3:16)

  5. Dear Martins, I am saddened to hear of Larry's passing. Darling Molly I send hugs and kisses to you. May Peace be with you all. With Sincere Sympathy, Betty Day
