Larry, it's been awhile since I let you a message. Some jerks were spaming you here. Looks like they've been removed. I miss you so much, everyday. Now you have Mom, Holly and Cassie with you. I hope you all know how much you're loved and missed. And you have missed being here for so many things with our family. I can tell you this, I know how proud you are of each of them. I love you yesterday, today, tomorrow, forever and always! J


To the people that keep posting ads/solicitations in my husbands guest book here online....STOP IT!  You are being extremely disrespectful and insensitive! This hurts our family that your have turned what we consider precious and sacred into a joke. It has been painful for our children and myself to go on without their Dad and my Husband. Now we have cold, money grubbing beings like you using this private site to promote your goods! I hope you fail miserably and that you never profit. Maybe God will have mercy for you and your lack of humanity....because I don't.

Amanda, I am sorry to hear the demise of your dad. I use to help him as well as your mom Janet for prescription at Fred Meyer pharmacy Lynnwood.

Happy Fathers Day my Larry. We all miss you so very much. Things here are not good right now, fighting hard to stay in the house, our home. I could sure use your strength right now and your positive outlook, "It'll be okay" you always say. 2769 days I've waited to hear those words and I will continue to wait for you, only you, always You! Find me. I love you heart and soul, forever and Always, J

My Larry, it's been 2663 days since you've been gone. I came here to see if there was a memorial for Becky's friend Teresa, who just passed last week. I was so surprised to see that this site had added so much more to it and that it still went back to you. I love you my Larry, haven't not loved you for even a second. I still wait to hear your truck pull in, your keys in the door, you calling out "I'm Home". You've missed so much. Amanda's wedding, Tom getting his license and his first truck (Ford Explorer-of course), his first real job, Kate's new truck. They all have your work ethics; work whatever and however many hours they need you in any weather. Be proud Baby, they all are managers at the top and well liked and relied on by co-workers, you taught them well. Be proud of them too, Kate and Tom, their still here at  home. They stayed here for me, I know, even though  they make excuses for why they stay. Amanda has her first house, they been there about a year now. God, how I miss you! You were my safe place and I can't find anywhere safe, not like the safety of your arms. Baby, I need you now, find me...please. I can't bear this. I love you Larry, heart and soul; yesterday, today, tomorrow; forever and Always, J

OUR CONDOLENCES TO LARRY'S WIFE AND FAMILY

ED & LESLIE CAMPBELL

Janet, Just want you to know I am 
thinking of you and your family. I
want to extend my deepest sympathy to
you all. With love, Arlene Christensen
from Fred Meyer Pharmacy Lynnwood.

Larry was and will always be in my memory as the cheerful guy who got along with everyone.  I knew him only a short time but he made a positive impact on my life and for this I will always remember him.  
He will be greatly missed, but never forgotten.  
With sympathy and condolence,
Brian from Richmond Beach

Larry was a dear friend to me.  Someone I worked with on a daily basis.  He always brought a positive attitude to work and made everyone laugh.  

We went through a lot together working at Chevron.  Everything from our big "Spill Drill" that took months of planning to the oil fire we had while both of us were on shift.  Larry was someone we could always count on to be there when the work got interesting. 

I miss Larry very much and my heart is deeply saddened with his abrupt departure from this earth. 

I would like Janet, his daughters and his son to know that it has been an honor and a privelage to know Larry.  He was a true friend.

It's been 2 months since Larry passed and I have sat here so many times to write a Memory Tribute to him each time stopped by the unending tears.  Today as I visited his grave to leave him roses, one for each day he has been gone, I swore I would write a tribute here no matter how hard.  I love that man so much and I will always!  Larry is the best of all; friend, brother, uncle, son, father and Husband.  Everyone that met him liked him, he is a generous, considerate, caring man.  He loved his Seahawks, fishing, model cars and just about anything on cable.  He loved babies, puppies and kittens; it was awe inspiring to watch this big man melt into a cooing, cuddling goof in the presence of any of the above.  We would be at the store and there would be a baby just looking at him or already crying and Larry would start smiling at them and making baby talk and they would just start smiling and laughing, many times to the Mom's amazement-I guess babies do have an instinct for the good guys!  And pets, well we have had our share and each one was Larry's buddy.  When they passed Larry would stand out in the pouring rain and make a place to lay them to rest-it was always raining when they died, I guess the Heaven's were sharing our tears.  Larry was very dedicated to his job and took pride in doing a job well, he hung in there through season after season of lay-offs knowing that one year he would make permanent status and he did!  Larry liked and respected his bosses and co-workers, he was always eager to learn more.  He thought of them all as family.  And then there is us.  Larry was so excited about the birth of our three babies and was wonderful with them, and as they grew he was so proud of each of them for their accomplishments with school and work.  Larry loves Amanda, Kate and Tom so much.  They are going to miss so much that they should have been able to share with him, milestones in their lifes!  Larry was just the best!!  I cherish every memory of every moment we were together, I don't know how to go on without him.  There are things I want to tell him, his favorite things a book or magazine I start to pickup at the store; things to ask him about the trucks, just so many things all day, everyday; only to remember he isn't here.  I end my day convincing myself he is working nights and start my day believing he is working days-only to spend the night crying, begging God to let this be a bad dream but knowing as I hug Larry's pillow and favorite Seahawk shirt that no such miracle will happen.  I only pray that Larry knows how much he is loved and appreciated and that I was half as good to him as he was to me.  I don't know why God did this or why God let Larry die alone-that haunts me, that I wasn't with him, that no one was, no one should die alone-I will love Larry for all my days.  I love you Larry with all my heart forever and--Always, J.

I miss you dad! And love you very much! I wish so much that you were still here. I check this site all the time hopeing that this is someone else and that you are at home with mom, kate and tom. I finally graduated college. I wish I had gotten a chance to tell you. And the Seahawks almost made it to the superbowl this year. You would have been proud of them. They were were just two games away from going. I just wish I could have had the chance to say good bye. I hope were ever you are that you are happy and okay. We will miss you very much. I will always remember you dad for all the things you did for me, for believing in me and for putting up with me when i was a brat. It is just so hard to believe that you are gone and I don't understand why. But I love you and will miss you. :
