My dear friend, it's been a year since your loss. I think about you all the time and you haven't left my mind all day, not even for a second. 

Of course I am sad and I miss you beyond words. But what keeps a smile on my face is the "rad!" times we had together! Riding around in your truck aimlessly listening to Say Anything and laughing until our stomachs hurt! 

I know that you are looking down on all of us that were so lucky to be a  part of your life. I know that you wouldn't want us to be sad, but to have a smile on our face and laugh at all the hilarious things you said and did! 

You were the most amazing person I've ever known. There was never a dull moment. I will never forget you and the precious memories we had! 

My heart goes out to the whole Murph family. Keep your chin up and keep smiling! That's what Larry would want.

Lare, Ginny had a birthday party for Will's 3rd birthday today. It was such a nice party and he had such a good time. I thought about you the whole time (as I always do), and I just couldn't stop thinking that you should be there, playing with Will and Noah and putting all Will's presents together. That was suppose to be your job. I know you were there watching over them with that big smile on your face, and beaming with pride. You left Ginny and the rest of our family with the most precious little boys. It comforts me so much to spend time with them and I love them with all my heart. I look forward to the day I can be with you again and I can't wait to wrap my arms around you. Please continue to watch over all of us, especially Ginny and the boys, and always let them feel your presence. Ginny has a big job raising the boys, so please be there for her to draw strength and guidance from you when she needs it. I love you with all my heart Larry, forever and ever.

I came across this accidently, and am blown away with shock and grief. I feel so sorrowful for your family's loss. 
You were a funny little freckle-faced kid and you and my little brother Chris had some great times together back in the old neighborhood, skating around and playing pranks on me and Apryl.
As luck would have it, your first son was born on the same day and in the same hospital as my brother's son, and I vividly remember the sheer joy on your face and pride of becoming a dad and sharing that awesome moment with an old friend. I'm sorry that your sons will not have a chance to know their wonderful father, but I know your sister and mom will make sure to make a you a big part of their lives and keep your memories alive.
Rest in Peace Larry.

My heart goes out to you Ginny, and to your boys. 
He made this world a brighter place and leaves many happy memories. Thank you for being such a great person. Your time here was short but you sure did live it wonderfully. You will be missed Murph.

Happy Anniversary, my love.  I miss you.  "I love you darlin' till the day that I die".

God called your name so softly
That only you could hear
And no-one heard the footsteps
Of angels drawing near.
It broke my heart to lose you
But you did not go alone
For part of me went with you
The day God called you home.

I Love You Larry.

You were my best friend, I will always think about all the good memories we had growing up. My prayers good out to his family.

My Love â€“ 

Today marks one month since I lost you.  A big piece of my heart and soul disappeared that day, and I miss you more and more with every passing minute.  I know you are here, watching over the boys and me, and that thought gives me more comfort than you can imagine.  I just wish I could see you and touch you â€“ I would give anything for a big Larry hug right now.  I know I will see you later, but later is so very far away.  Until then, from you to me and back to you, I love you darling till the day that I die.

Larry, I was in total shock to hear about the loss of your son.  I am so sorry and I know words can not express what one feels.  My prayers are with you and your family.
I feel like I know him because of the love you had when you spoke of him and of your family. My goodness, he looks just like you Larry.  I'm here if you ever need me.
God Bless you and your family.
Mary Morgan

I remember the first time I met you Larry you were only 9 years old. You were very respectful, with yes sir and no sir when I asked you anything. I thought to myself what a good kid this is. But through the years from watching you become a grown man and father, you made me so proud at the person you had become. I will miss seeing Brandon light up by just knowing that his Bubby is coming over. We could not ask for a better big brother to Brandon or little brother to Apryl, and I certainly could not have asked for a better step-son. You will be deeply missed, but will be in are HEARTS forever. I will see you again someday. I just want to let you know I will fly Will and Little Larry around as much as they want their Papa to, just like their daddy would do.

           I LOVE YOU LARRY!  SHAWN

Our world is a much less happy place. Larry was such a great nephew to have in my life.I will always remember him the rest of my life.Larry was the kind of person that every parent would be so proud of(manners,love,kind words and some great jokes).When my brother passed away Larry was one of the first to call me. It really made me feel good that he was thinking of me.Larry will alays be missed by our entire famly,but he will be in our hearts forever! Please say hello to my brother Richard for me! I will see you again! Rest in peace. Love one of your favorite uncle's. Steven

Larry,my beloved first born grandson, there are no words for the sadness in my heart. Not a minute of the day goes by that I'm not thinking about you and what a wonderful young man you are. I really miss hearing you say "hey nan" and always closed our conversations with "love you nan".I will always cherish our time together, just wasn't long enough but I have wonderful cherished memories of our time. I remember the day you came home from the hospital I dressed you in 2 of the cutest outfits to take your picture which I stll have, I remember the day you threw your 1st grade report card in the blue bin and told me you didn't get one, or how I had to trick you into getting a bath every night. I remember the day you called me and asked me if it would be ok to name your little boy William after papa and I told you we would be honored. I could just go on & on about you because you was such a good little boy and grew into a Wonderful young man, a wonderful son, brother and especially a wonderful dad. You will never be forgotten and I will always love you with all my heart.

Lare, it has been almost one month to the day since I received the worst phone call a mother could get.  My heart aches for you everyday and not a minute goes by that I'm not thinking of you.  I would give anything to hear you say "hey mom" everytime the phone rings, or to hear you tell me you love me before we hang up.  Wednesday nights are especially hard because I'll never have you here for dinner again, asking me if the mashed potatoes were real or fake.  You thought you were such an expert on that, and yes, sometimes I had you fooled. You made us laugh so hard with your crazy sense of humor and I am so glad you passed that same sense of humor on to your little brother.  Everytime I look at him I see you and that gives me so much comfort.  He adored the ground you walked on and always thought he had the coolest Bubby. We have so many wonderful, funny memories of you to hold in our hearts and I think about them all the time.  You were the funniest person I know and I will always cherish your witty, spontaneous side that you loved to share with everyone.  Our family will never be complete without you, but we will make you proud at how we teach your boys about their awesome daddy, and they will always know how very much you love them and always will.  You were a bright light in every life you touched and that will shine on forever.  I love and miss you Larry with every beat of my heart and I look forward to the day I can see you again.  I can't think of anyone else that will watch over all of us like you will and that gives me so much peace.  I love you with all my heart Lare and we will be together again on day.  I give William a big ole kiss and hug from his daddy everytime I see him, and I also have to tackle him (over and over)like you used to do.  Ginny is doing a fantastic job with Will and with the pregnancy, but you already know what a great mom she is,and we can't wait until Little Larry is born with that jet black hair and looks just like his daddy.  

I will miss you for the rest of my life, but I know you're with me at all times.  

I love you dearly!  Mom

I remember Larry skateboarding up and down the street as a teenager.  Colton thought he was so cool.  Years later I saw him at a Jaguar game and he came up and gave me a big hug.  He always had a huge smile on his face.  Susan was so proud of him!  

Surround yourselves with the love of your family and friends and the wonderful memories you have of Larry.  You are in our prayers and are we are here for you.

Here are a couple of cute memories I'd like to share about larry.   my  daughter Vicky used to keep him when he was just a little guy.
She would put him in his carryall & sit him in front of the T. V. so he could watch the price is right every day.  When he was just a little boy somebody  ask him what he wanted to be when he grew up and he said he wanted to be a garbage man. he was serious to when he would hear the garbage truck coming he take off out side and watch the garbage man jump off the truck and empty the garbage cans and jump back on the truck  He just thought that was the neatest thing & that's just what he wanted to be when he grew up. A garbage man.    Larry was a good baby a very good little boy and a very very fine and special young man.  Larry was just unique.  He never failed to say yes mam or no sir to all adults.  You were and still are very much loved  Larry.   We will always miss you.   love aunt mae XXXXXX

Susan I cant imagine what u are going through right now. My heart hurts and cries for u. Take some comfort in knowing just what an amazing son, brother, husband and father you raised. I will miss his big smile and hugs he always gave us. I have so many funny memories of him growing up and how he made us all laugh. If u need anything no matter what time it is, call me. I love you and Larry and u are in my thoughts daily.

Jenny I just want u to know Ive been where u are now. It is hard but just take each day as it comes. Larry I will miss that sweet smile of yours and the hugs u always nade sure to give all us women in the family when u walked in. I have so many memories from your birth til your death. Our family will not be the same. I love u and say hi to Jack for me please. RIP

Ginny, my deepest condolences go out to you and your family through the difficult times and in the days to come.  You are in my thoughts and if you ever need anything please don't hesitate to reach out

I cannot believe this... You were an amazing person and I wish I would have taken more of an effort to hang with you when the chance existed. You will truly be missed Larry and I hate having to type these words about you. Rest in peace and my upmost deepest condolences to the Murph family for your loss. I'm sorry

WOW, I am speechless.....we worked together at Office Depot, we always had a great time there.  If you were in a bad mood when you came into to work, you were happy five minutes after you run into Larry.  He was such an awesome person and friend.  You WILL be missed my ol friend.  Say hello to my mom will ya!  GO GATORS!

Larry, 
Rest in peace friend. I only knew you for a few days this past summer when I was in training at George A Israel, Inc. However, the very first day I walked in you gave me a great smile and said hello!! I felt welcomed immediately. My condolences and prayers are with the family and friends that love you and will always miss you, specially Ginny,Will and LarryIII.

Family and friends,

Thank you so much for the overwhelming love and support you have shown us all through this difficult time.  The boy(s) and I are doing as well as can be expected - just taking it one day at a time.

In addition to thanking you for all the love and support, I would also like to thank you for the respect you have shown for our privacy during this time.  It is a challenging time and the family wishes to keep private the details of the tragic accident that took our beloved Larry.

Larry, we are all so lucky to have had you in our family. I will always remember you coming in and making sure that you gave everyone a hug. I think I can speak for us all when I say you made everyone feel speical. We will all miss you so much and our family will never be the same without you.  I know that Ginny will do a great job with your boys and she will make sure that they knew just how great of a daddy you were and how much you love them. You will be forever missed!

Murph & Susan, I'm so sorry you lost your precious son.  When I saw his picture it was a shock how much he looks like you Murph.  I remember seeing him when he was a baby.

I worked with you Susan at BCBS, when I was Sue Johnson & I kept up with the family through you Larry when I went to the print shop.

I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Ginny I am so sorry to hear of your lose. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you.

I will never forget, one day I was having trouble getting will to sleep at the daycare, just in time to be saved, Larry came into the classroom and put on some bob marley tunes from his phone and got will to sleep for me. He was an amazing father, and always made us at the daycare smile.  Larry you were such a cool down to earth guy and you will be missed!

Larry, I cannot express how sad I feel at the thought of not seeing your smiling face.  You are such a special nephew and I have loved you since the day you were born.   You have such a unique, caring spirit that most guys your age donâ€™t possess; not to mention how you have made us laugh out loud for the past 27 years.   You are loved by so many people and we will keep your spirit alive by remembering all the special times we have shared as a family.  Our family will never be the same without you!  I will love you and miss you forever - little Ninja Turtle.

Larry, AKA Beans:

When I received the news last week, my heart dropped. You were one of my dearest friends growing up. Even though I moved away, we still always managed to keep in touch. I am so blessed for that. You had such a huge heart of gold, and loved making people laugh. My mom still remembers the way you used to call her "Mrs. Boyles". I'll never forget the silly nickname you gave me because you got so mad that I always called you Beans! I'm so sad that you're not with us anymore; you will be missed so much by so many. You were not only an amazing husband, father, and son, but the greatest friend to many!

My condolences to your family. Watch over us now angel, and may you REST IN PEACE. <3

Susan, I'm so sorry for the loss of your
son.  I  remember working with you at
the Pru when he was born.  May God bless
and comfort you and your family at this time and give you strength.

Larry,

I was so shocked yesterday to hear the news, I pulled over and cried for a while and called my mom. She was in shock and couldn't believe it either! I remember you coming over and joking with her saying "your fired"! Lol I will never forget that!! You were Probably one of the funniest people I have ever met. Â Thank you for teaching me how to play pool!! That was such a blast!! I tried texting you a few months ago but I guess you got your phone number changed. It's strange that last week for some reason I was thinking of you and all the fun we Had in cedar key. I'm so sorry you are gone you were a wonderful friend and I know you were loved and will be missed by so many!! I told my husband about you and he said you sounded like a guy he'd like to know because you are a huge Ron Paul suPporter! I love you and will miss you so much! My condolences to your family at this tragic time.

Larry,

We shared so many good
Times! I miss you so much and you were such a wonderful friend to me. Today I found out what happened and I couldn't help think of all
The good
Times we had! Some of my favorites were in cedar key and the
Golf cart!! You know what I am talking
About! You taught me
How to play pool! Those were some great
Times at rigbys! To your wife, I am so sorry for your loss, Larry was an amazing person that was loved by so many! I have cried three times
Today because I was so upset but I can
Not even imagine how upset you are. Please let
Me
Know if there
Is anything at all I can
Do.
With love,

Meaghan

Ginny, There are no words to help in this terrible time of grief. Just take one day at a time and cherish all your happy memories. You are very blessed to have your sons as a constant reflection of their dad. He will live on in them. You and the boys are in my prayers.. daily! You have a tough road ahead, know that you are not alone. Love, Rhoda

Larry, 

I will never look out the front window of my parents' home and not think of you, out shooting hoops with Brandon, your sons, Shaun, myself, and Scott. So many memories of throwing the football around after school, skating up and down our driveways with your boom box playing in the garage until dusk, olleying over recycle bins or manualing down the street - I swear no one was as good as you, balanced on two wheels over the the nose of the skateboard. Your smile was infectious, and as we got older, you always had time to catch up when I'd return home from New England for a visit home, and you were the best older brother and young father that I ever saw; that I could ever hope to emulate. My thoughts are with your family and friends that love you so much as they grieve your departure. I'm going to miss you, man - a lot of people are, in a very big way.

I am so sad to hear that you have passed away. We haven't talked since high school, but you are the kind of person that would never be forgotten. You were always so nice to everyone you came in contact with. Your family will be in my prayers!

Larry you will truly be missed... You were an amazing Dad. We'll never forget how you beamed with pride when talking about Will- Just as your Dad, Larry Sr. beams with pride when he speaks of you. We love you and miss you. You'll always be in our hearts.

Larry,
The first time that I met you I knew that there was something special about you. I could never have asked for a better brother-in-law. You were an amazing husband to Ginny and the best father for Will. Seeing the look on your face when we would play with Will was priceless. It was easy to see that you loved them more than anything in this world. Be assured that I will do my best to help take care of them and little Larry.  I know that I will be able to tell them that their father was an amazing man who loved his family very much and wanted nothing more than for them to be the best that they can be. We shared some great times together and I hope that one day we will be able to do so again. Peace Brother

Dear Susan,   
   I was so shocked and deeply saddened when I saw Larry Jr's obituary in the newspaper.  You and I worked together at Prudential (PRUPAC) in the mid 1980s in the phone unit.  I remember seeing pictures of your precious children on your desk and hearing loving stories of their childhood. I know how much you loved Larry Jr and Apryl.  Please know that I am here if you need me. 

My deepest sympathies and a hug for you and your family. I am so sorry for your loss. 

May God bless you, 
Cynthia (formerly Cindy Williams)

You always put a smile on my face and you will be truly missed. I am at a loss for words...

My thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends during this sad time...

Larry...my brother from another mother, as we used to say. I still cannot believe you're gone. From unlikeliest of friends to best of friends. I was the shy, nerdy kid, you were the loud, skater kid. Though our personalities were different, we shared commonalities that allowed us to create a friendship that couldn't be broken. It all started with a random "Hey you want to shoot some pool?". The rest was history and I'm definitely glad we decided to play pool at Rigsys that day. Gator Football Saturdays and Jags Football Sundays won't be the same without you. Not to mention all of the armchair quarterbacking and FSU bashing that follows, haha. You were a selfless person always willing to put others ahead of yourself. You were a wonderful son to your parents, a little brother for your sister, Apryl, to lean on, a big brother for Brandon to look up to, a loving husband to Ginny, an AMAZING father to Will and an awesome friend to many. I promise I will do my best be a part of Ginny's, Will's and little Larry's lives and I know you have a lot loving family that will be there too. I hope your family reading this knows how much you meant to me and I hope they know I will be there for them if they ever need me. Thanks for being a best friend and sharing some amazing memories with me; Those memories will never fade. I hope to one day meet again, but until then, so long my friend. I love you man!

Oh, and GO GATORS!!

Please accept my condolences. Friend, the Lord promises that one day we will see our love ones again. For now, stand up a take the Lords hand. He will comfort you and never let go of him.  
Psalm 46:1
God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.

You were such an amazing person! Thank you for being there for me through hard times in my life (in the past) and making sure to keep a smile on my face. You will never be forgotten. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. I couldn't imagine being in their shoes living life without you! Please watch over them and keep them safe!!! Ginny just know you guys are loved by Larry more than you will ever know. I am so sorry for everything you guys are having to go through!!!!

What sad news. Larry, you were an awesome guy. I will always remember the fun times we had when we were younger. Praying for your family!  You will be so missed.

Susan, I am so sorry for your loss, God has called your baby boy to be by his side in a better place, where there is peace, where there is no evil, where he can rest.  A place where he will there; waiting for you when it is your time to leave. My deepest condolences and prayers are with you and your family through this difficult time and in the days to come.

Ginny, I'm so sorry for your loss. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. Please let me know if there is ever anything I can do. 

Tiffany

 I will miss Larryâ€™s wonderful personality and generous smile. He was one of the good guys that every one couldnâ€™t help but like. He came into work almost everyday excited about something new that William had done, showing us pictures of that adorable little face. He was so proud of his growing family. Ginny, I know he loved you all so very much. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.

Grief can be so very hard, but I pray that your wonderful memories of Larry will help you to cope and get you through this very difficult time.  My heart is breaking for you Susan, Shawn, Brandon, Apryl, Ginny and the entire family.  Our sympathies, love and prayers are with you today and in the days to come.

Larry what can I say? You were a laugh and a half. While the average father was kicking back at the local fastfood joint or hanging with his coworkers, you were sharing a meal with willie pooh. You would say "Will eat eat" and He would smile and grin, sometimes I think he would eat your whole lunch lol. You were a smooth dude that had a smile that could light up a room and I will never forget you. Will is the man of the house now so let's hope he saves some food for Ginny and Lil larry!

I saw larry everyday when he came to eat lunch with william. he always had that goofy smile on his face. what always amazed me was he would always call first to make sure it was ok! he was always so excited when will learned a new word and couldn't wait to tell us. even when will started dancing larry would stop in the middle of the daycare and say "will break it down" and both of them would start dancing. he was a true definition of a father, and his legacy will live on. we love you and you will truly be missed. larry, tell my dad i said hello, he will be the one on the grill with the heavenly bbq!

Apryl and Family,

You do not know me but I have had the privilege to work with your daughter Apryl at State Farm.  There are no words that can be expressed that are worthy and able to help with your pain and your loss.  I never met your son and brother, but through the example and walk of Apryl, he had to be an extraordinary man and there is no better witness to a life than that.  My Prayers will be with you.

Apryl we are all so sorry for your loss.You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

I loved Larry with all my heart and I am so sad he is gone...
My heart aches for Susan/Larry/Ginny and the entire family, godbless you all, and know you are in my thoughts and prayers, everyday...Love Tammy

Ginny, I am very sorry for your loss.  It is very hard to lose someone you love when they are so young and vibrant.  I will keep you and the boys in my prayers

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief.  May your memories bring you comfort.

Susan, Larry, Apryl, and  Ginny,
My thoughts and prayers are with you guys. I will always remember  Larry as that sweet little boy who always had a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eye. 

Sincerely,

Lori

Larry,
My heart is broken that you are gone. I could not believe it when I heard the news. I was so excited to see you this past April. You are the only one of the grandkids that came over to me to give me a big hug. It really made my heart smile when you gave my husband a little talking to about taking care of me. I remember our little slumber parties at Aunt Francis and Uncle Bâ€™s house, and how everyone said we looked sooo much alike when we were younger. I miss those days. I regret not staying in touch with you better over the years. The only thing giving me piece of mind in your passing, is knowing that my daddy is taking EXCELLENT care of you now. Nobody in our family should ever have to worry about that. You will forever be in our hearts.

Larry, you were my best friend, I am going to miss you terribly, but I'll have a ton of great, funny, crazy memories to recall.  Love You, Forever.
GO GATORS!!!

There are no words...You are in our thoughts and prayers always.

I've re-lived every moment of the 19 years I had you in my life and cried so many tears.  I absolutely loved being your 'wicked step monster' and I will do everything I can to help Apryl, Caeden, Ginny and the boys..rest peacefully Larry, I love you..

We love you larry and always miss you. You were such a great cousin that done the steps behind the couch for me over and over again. We love you and will miss u very much.

My Baby Boy, My heart is shattered and I don't know how I'll go on without you.  You have been the son that any mother would give any to have and I'm so thankful for the time I had you.  I never doubted your love for me because you constantly showed it. I will always be there for Ginny and your babies so just know they'll be loved and taken care of, and they will know their daddy and how much he loved them. You were also the best big brother to Brandon and he will miss you terribly. Please give Papa a hug for me and tell him how much I miss him.  You'll live on in my heart forever and not a day will go by that I won't grieve for you.  I love you with all my heart.  Mom

Of all the people in the whole wide world, Larry, you were the last person I expected to be gone.  You were always such a polite young man who loved your family....especially Ginny and the boys.  

Rest in peace, Larry.  We will surely miss you.  You were always loved...and will continue to be loved and missed til we see you again.

Ginny I am sorry for your loss... You and the family are in my thoughts and prayers. Larry will be missed.

It was such an honor to know you. You have always been an awesome guy and amazing husband and father. Let my little brother show you around. I'll miss you, buddy

Shawn and Susan:  Our thoughts are with you and your family.  May God bless you all with many wonderful memories of Larry.  You are in our hearts and prayers.  Love, Aunt Nancy and Uncle John

Such terrible news.  Prayrs for the whole Murph family.

You were my brother and my best friend! I am so blessed to have had you in my life! I would choose 27 years with you over a lifetime of anything else. I love you forever! I will miss you....
P.S.- I money bombed $20.12 for you today, and your name came up on the screen as a donor! Ron Paul 2012!!!!
