I am saddened by seeing this. I had not seen Larry for quite some time and I apologize for that. Larry was a great man and thought the world of his family and friends. He was open and honest and at times hard headed but he was unique in his own way. I am glad I got to know Larry and his family, I only wish I would have met them sooner. My heart goes out to Lorie and her family, you lost a great man. He would not have wanted you to mourn his passing, he would have wanted a goodbye and continue with life. He will be missed.

One of the finest and most hard-headed friends we have ever had in our lives.Larry was always up-front with everyone and that is one of the many things we loved about him. Had a lot of good motorcycle rides with him, drank a few beers with him and worked a lot of poles with him, and enjoyed every minute. Larry will always be missed and always be loved.

Dear Lorie, Lester and the entire family– please know that even though I can’t be there in person, as my son is hospitalized today, I am thinking of you and wishing you strength as you go through this difficult time. Your father meant so much to me– he was an amazing person, and helped this community much, much more than many people realize. When I moved to Columbus to work for the Human Rights Commission, my colleague Lorraine Smith had a list of people I needed to meet– and Larry was at the top of the list. He always had time for me, and always helped me, and the Commission. He became a personal friend, and I enjoyed our lunches. Thank you for the blessing of sharing your father with me, as a mentor and friend. — Arlette Tinsley, and the Tinsley family
