One of the best person to have on a job. Could not find a better operator and mentor. Will be missed by everyone who had the pleasure to know him.
Condolences to Larry’s family. I worked with Larry for years and enjoyed every minute. I bumped into him a few times after retirement and, as always, he was upbeat and friendly. Sad to see him leave this earth so soon.
Sorry to hear of Larry’s passing. Our prayers go out to his family and friends. The Geer family were great neighbors of my Grandparent’s Owen. Alot of great memories throughout the years of knowing the families and of us playing in the barns and haying in the fields and long time friends. Say Hello to all who went before us. Your job is done here on earth! Rest in Peace Larry and your angel will watch over us and keep us safe. You will be greatly missed by all. Sissy (Owen) and Tom Kuhn Jr.
Rip Larry. I will miss seeing you and visiting when you would bring Parker in for his grooming. Loved how you loved that big dog of yours.

Until we meet again my cousin. Peace and Love, Geri Kelly
Larry was our neighbor for 37+ years and you couldn’t ask for a nicer one. We are really going to miss him. Christy, Nathan, Connie and your families our thoughts and prayers are with you and if you need anything we are right across the street.
Sorry to hear about your dads passing. I will leave you a memory of the past one day my dad brought the truck home from work so I snuck out to clean the vinyl seats with armarol and shined them seats. Well I remember seeing him not long after he took a ride in it and boy he was that was a rough ride and couldn’t sit still we slid all over those seats.
I’m sorry for your loss. Larry was a wonderful helper at the Union City Food Pantry. He will be remembered as a kind and caring man. We will miss him.
I’m sorry for your loss. I grew up with Nathan and know Larry was a good person with a good heart.
I knew Larry as he was married to my cousin, Linda Southwick. He was a warm, caring individual who was devoted to Linda and his children. He remained very attentive to my parents in their elder years, (Alton & Elizabeth Southwick), with his visits greatly appreciated.
My sincere condolences to his children, Christy & Nathan & to his partner, Connie and families.

I remember Larry as “Curly” in Oklahoma when I was a freshman and he was a senior at UCAHS. He was to die for. Then I saw him in the home ec room when he was offstage. He just looked like a regular person without the klieg lights and song. It is hard to believe that was 55 years ago.
