I always remember your dad from the old days in bklyn.  How he would come home from work and Irma would make him 1 drink, and he would always yell at me to go home.  But I just laughed it off.  And then in VA I remember he had his own library room and how avid a reader he was.

Almost a year later Lucille and I found out about Larry’s passing. We were ourselves grieving as my mother passed 18 days earlier. I hope Irma is doing well. You are in our thoughts and prayers always.

Larry was special, pure and simple. Myself and my wife Hilary moved to FL in 2005 and what we didn’t know was that we were the luckiest people in the world. We moved next door to Larry and Irma. At the time we had a new born son, Luke, and he was a bit of a handful. 
Shortly after moving, Hilary by chance met Irma to start what has become a very special bond between both our families. 
It was at this time that we started to become family. We welcomed Anna, our daughter at Christmas in 2006, and having no blood-family, in the USA, Irma and Larry were there to look after Luke. From the day we brought Anna home from hospital you could see the love Irma and Larry had for their now two adopted grandchildren. In 2010 they got another when Jade arrived. 

I so enjoyed spending time with Larry and heard his life stories of Brooklyn, Davenport IA and how they ended up in Misty Creek. We talked regularly of work, baseball, golf and business. Larry was always there if advise was needed but never one to intrude. He was there to celebrate good times and to help us through tough times. 
He was generous to a fault with his time. 

We played many rounds of golf and saw many baseball games. I loved his company and really couldn’t wait to see what Irma had on the dinner table when we got to the house. There was always going to be lots of choice. 

Through the years and through many different moves Larry was always hoping that we would one day make it back to FL but unfortunately we could not make that happen. Even with the physical separation Hilary kept regular contact and they forged an incredible bond. I wish I talked more but in the end, I know he loved my family and we loved him. 

RIP Larry Post.. ‘GrandPa’ to Luke, Anna and Jade. We will miss you so much.

Ken & Hilary Stephens


So many memories.  When I was over at the Post home in Brooklyn, I remember he was an avid reader,  which was reinforced when I saw his library in their new home in  Virginia, I remember his devoted wife would have a cocktail ready for him when he came home from work, and I remember how he welcomed my sister and I into their home.    They were like family to me.  And I will always remember him.
