It`s 6:00a.m. On Friday(9/24) and I just opened the morning paper and was terribly sad when I read about the loss of Larry.
I feel so "Blessed" that I met Pat accidentally at the hospital on Monday(9/20) and had an opportunity to visit with Larry. He was cheerful and we reminisced about the 70`s when he was a patient in CCU where I was the Head Nurse. He was one of my Favorite Patients and over the past 30 years we would occasionally meet and I always felt "Good" that the care we provided him in the 70`s before all the Advanced Technology of today gave Larry and his family 30 more years together. I am privileged to have known this "Special Man" and share in his Medical Care.
My condolences to Pat and her sons.
My prayers will be with you all as you grieve your loss.

Love –
Ruth

We are very sorry for your loss.  Larry took pride in his autos.  We can still remember him driving through the Neffsville neighborhood in one of his convertibles; especially, during the block parades.  We will keep him in our prayers.

Dear Pat,  went online this morning to check my emails and was so saddened when I opened the one from Jo Ott informing the reunion committee of Larry’s obit.  Ned and I are very sorry to hear this,  we have so enjoyed reconnecting with you and Larry.  He was a great guy and we looked forward to seeing more of both of you but we are grateful for the time we had. 

We will not be able to attend the funeral;  Ned’s medical obligations prevent that, but please know that we are thinking of you and your family and  praying for you.  We hope to see you the next time we are in York.

Your friends,
Todd Kemper and Ned Murphy

Sorry about your dad guys.

Dear Pat and Family:
Was totally shocked when I saw Larry’s passing in the paper Friday morning. Couldn’t believe it. Wasn’t that long ago that Larry and I saw you guys out shopping. Larry was a great guy to work for at American General Insurance. We’ll miss seeing him out and about. We won’t be able to attend the services because of my work obligations, but know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time of sadness and loss.

Thinking of you,
Melinda (or Linda, as Larry was always in the habit of calling me at the
office) and Larry Curry

Sorry to hear of the passing of your father/husband. Our condolences to the entire family.
