I met Larry at In  As  Much  Food Pantry about five years ago.  We hit it off immediately and 
 we saved and shared our jokes each Saturday.  Larry was so talented not only about plumbing but  many of the trades.  He was generous with his knowledge and so humble.  If you knew Larry I'm sure  you'll miss him.    Larry made our world a better place.  

Take care Big Guy,

Sal & Marlyn Montuori

Larry was one of the first  person I meet when I started at Jewell. He told me if there was anything I needed come to him and he would help me do what ever it was. Could not ask for a better friend. I don’t think there was nothing he could not do and was proud to do it. A true friend and will be missed. 

Larry was one of the friendliest people I've known.  He would always greet you with a smile and had great pride in his work.  Nothing was too hard or difficult for him and he will truly be missed!

There's nothing I can say on here it would take up to much room He was the Best Brother that God could give to us & now God needed the best Angle he could fine so that had to be you of course your with most of the Family tell them all we love & miss them & I do you two❤ so Fly.High my Brother one day I will Fly High with you tell then RIP tell we meet again❤🙏🇺🇸

I had the privilege to work with Larry on a daily basis.  Larry was a very hard worker who was knowledgeable in many trades, especially plumbing.  He was always willing to go above and beyond, helping  his co workers whenever needed.  He loved to tell stories about spoiling his grandchildren.
His kindness and work ethic will be missed by the Jewell community.  My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Even if you didn't work with Larry on a day-to-day basis, it seems like everyone on campus knew who he was.  He was so friendly, always in a good mood and never too busy to say "hi".  He will be greatly missed.  My prayers are with his family and friends.   

Change is Hard how well all get through day to day is up to us to love no matter what and leave love ones behind . A man who has few words to say is how I looked at my Uncle Larry , He raised all his niece's and nephews lived with a few of us , my best memories are him and I building my very first snowman in Texas it was big , him teaching me to tie my shoe , ride a bike and all the funny faces we made together  . I have so many good memories I can't list them all . I however can say he always knows when others are picking and not being nice to others cause he will go right up to that person and make them feel welcome as he always had he was such a loving caring man . I couldn't of asked for a better person to be part of my life . This will weigh heavey on my soul and hard on my heart , I do no, you would want me to move forward and that exactly what I plan to do Uncle Larry , I cant speak for the rest of us but i do no your with grandpa now and  Uncle Jerry, Aunt Lou , Aunt Renne , Uncle Butch , Uncle Denise,  Cousin Holly , grandma Margie , Aunt Seal , hope I didn't forget anyone , sorry if I did . Tell we meet again Uncle Larry . Love you 

My  thoughts and prayers are with Larry Dean McDonald's family. 

Man this confirms it for real it's not a bad dream. I have so many memories of you Uncle Larry you've been a huge part of my life as long as I can remember. You're always there when I needed you just a phone call away. You pulled me through so many things the death of my parents Grandma and Grandpa my. Aunts... I just don't know who's going to pull me through this one this is tough. I'm trying to be strong that's why I haven't been to the city yet I will be there on Saturday and I will do my best your wife and daughters being real Troopers I hope I can be the same by Saturday. Although you know me and so does the family all I can do is try this cry baby will probably cry. So I guess I'll share the latest memory that you've been telling everybody that's when we were down at the lake had a little get-together about 4 years ago and I got drunk a cousin's boyfriend got mouthy and well we can only imagine how that led so Margie Lynn went to go get her dad because no one could calm me down I said go get your dad I don't care, and steph went to go get aunt sue, anyways long story short when I seen who the dad was coming up the hill I knew I just had to bow my head and go with the flow because Uncle Larry coming after me and Aunt Sue was coming up the other way two people I would never disrespect ever later on we got back to the room I wanted to step outside and call my daughter you told me to leave the door cracked I called my daughter and cried and said Uncle Larry grounded me I felt like I was 13 again. You thought that was the funniest thing I love you Uncle Larry thanks for all the memories and all the love you gave me and all of us until we meet again I sure will miss you please give me strength to get through this.

I remember visiting Missouri when I was 15 and my Uncle Larry taking me out for driving lessons. He was a wonderful father, husband, son, brother, friend and the best Uncle any girl could ask for! I love you Uncle Larry and I’ll miss you! 

My uncle Larry was definitely 1 of a kind. He was always there for everyone and every one always knew where to find him.  He was there for so many big things  in my life and countless little things.  I have so many happy times to remember in my heart that cant be lost or forgotten.  Hold your loved ones close because you never know when it's your time to fly. 

Larry was not just a great uncle but a great person. Uncle Larry was one of the most generous and kind hearted people I have ever known. He was always there for the whole family when ever we needed anything. I have lots of great memories at his house weather it was holidays or just family gatherings. He was a good man all around and will be loved and missed by many. 

Larry Dean was not only my cousin, he was one of the best friends i ever had. We started hanging out when i was 16 and he was 19 and we had a blast just doing what ever . We started working together at Topsy's in the Antioch mall. And worked together many other times at a few places, oil fields in texas , lawn care and for a few plumbers in kansas city ... We was always on the hunt for pretty girls, one time in Colorado city tx when i helped as a waiter at the local pizza hut for chruch groups on sunday , they had hired a new girl and omg was she pretty breath taking pretty.. by the end of the shift i got up enough nerve to ask her out and she said sure, but she had a friend with her and they was staying at the motel, until they could get a place of there own ...i said ..thats great i have a cousin/roommate and lets all four go out . so when we picked her up in the truck, she sat in the middle, when she got out to go get her friend, Larry told me she hand put her hand on his leg and squeezed..i said well hell i guess ill take the other one then .. which turned out to be not near as pretty and had bad attitude ...later that night back at our place Larry and Tammy was having best sex of his life(he told me) while me and Tanis was not .. Larry told me a few days later, that, he made the whole thing up about grabbing his leg and that he felt bad about, but, she was so pretty he couldn't help it... as mad as i was(petty mad to), i could only laugh with him what jerk but i'd would get him back and I did. lol.. so many more memory's i'll never forget you and the awesome times we had ... I love you Larry and i'm really going to miss you. please R.I.P.

Larry, 

I'll never forget the good old days of meeting at my place for a night of D&D and/or PGA Tour on the old 286.  My favorite memory, though, was when I came home on vacation from the time I lived in California and we were playing pool in your basement.  You pulled out a stack of envelopes.  Not just any envelopes.  These had artwork hand-drawn with colored pencils on the front face and the mailing addresses and stamp on the back.  They were addressed to you, sent by me, and carried the letters I wrote to keep in touch.  I couldn't believe you kept them!  It meant a lot to me that you held onto those.  

You always made me feel welcome and like part of the family whenever I was around with Trish, Mac, Joe, Pete, and Carleen.  You were just one of those guys who would always be a friend.  I don't recall ever seeing you angry or upset.  You seemed to always be in a good mood and that's what made you who you were.  This world needs more people like you.

We'll miss you, bud.
