To you, O God, the dead do not die,
and in death our life is changed, not ended.
Hear our prayers
and command the soul of your servant Larry
to dwell with all the saints,
and be raised at last on the great day of judgment.
In your mercy cleanse him of any sin
which he may have committed through human frailty.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

So sorry for your loss. Larry was a great classmate at Widefield High School.

My heart is saddened this morning upon hearing of Larry's passing. My history with Larry dates clear back to when we were growing up in Security and Widefield ... even going to church together. Everybody loved Larry, including me. Marilyn (his wife) is like a sister to me, and I can only imagine what she is feeling right now. One thing I am certain of, Larry is my Christian Brother, so I know he is now in the very presence of Jesus, and his absence from us is only temporary. We believers, that knew and loved Larry, will one day be with him again ... only this time for eternity. My thoughts and prayers are with Larry's family. See ya soon, my friend.

Larry was truly an incredible individual. Everyone enjoyed working with Larry here at Colorado Springs Utilities. He was always approachable and he could find humor in just about anything. He will be missed.
