  3. My condolences. Larry was a good man and best friend to my uncle Ken who passed in 2012. He had a good sense of humor. He will be missed.

  4. I smile when I think of “Sledge”. I have memories of he and Ken (Byers-my father in law) at Hyvee drinking coffee and solving the worlds problems! My son, Noah, spent a lot of time there eating donuts with them! He’ll be laughing in heaven with Ken. So sorry for your loss.
    Love, Angela & Noah and Avary Byers

  5. I am so sorry to hear of Larry’s passing. He was always a joy to talk to when he came into the bank in Havelock. He always had a story to share. And maybe a joke or two. My prayers are with you Phyllis and your family.

    My sincere sympathy to each of you on the passing of your beloved husband and father Larry.
    So enjoyed meeting him and you Phyllis at Hy-Vee for coffee and sharing family and fun times of Ceresco. Larry always had a joke for the time and place, and the same for the message he shared on face book too.
    may the Lord almighty wrap his tender arms around each of you and give you peace and understanding at his very trying time in your lives.

  16. Phillis, Sandi, Terry and your entire family, We are so saddened to hear of Larry’s passing. We knew he had been ill, but had no idea it was that serious. Larry was so kind and thoughtful and I always enjoyed visiting with him. He will be sorely missed by all of those left behind, but we must take comfort in knowing he is finally with his Heavenly Father. Our sincerest sympathies, Don and Carol Knop
