May GOD bless Mr Larry. I had the great pleasure of working with him at Xytronics for approximately 5 years. He was a very geniune persone who knew how to laugh and always was willing to help another at any time. He will be greatly missed. May the LORD be with you during this most difficult time.

Tobey and Gretchen, 
I was so sorry to hear about your Dad. Please know that you all will remain in my thoughts and prayers. 
All my love, 
Beverly Henneke

Dear Becky and family, 
I was extremely saddened to learn of Larry's sudden illness and death. I seldom hear news from San Antonio and the Community and Adult Scene anymore, but I was alerted to this news very quickly. Be assured that all of the Community and Adult Ed family grieve with you in this loss. Cathy Rhudy

I send my heartfelt sympathy to Larry's family. I just wanted ya'll to know that his classmates from Landry and St. Charles Academy prayed for him and for the family during those last days of his illness. Even tonite, April 26th, several of us were talking about the sadness of his death. Our Faith reminds us that "Eternal Life" has been granted to him. He will be remembered often by his friends from Lake Charles.

Thinking of and praying for your family as you all go through this difficult time. I'm so sorry for your loss.

My condolences to the Gossen family. Although we lost touch with Larry over the years, he is fondly remembered each year as we meet to recount the good old days. Larry will continue to be remembered and held in great respect. Scott Smith

Gretchen and Tobey, I am so sorry for your loss - your dad was such a warm and wonderful man. Sending all of my love and support.

Dear Sarah and all the Gossen Clan: My heart goes out to all of you on this sad occasion. But let us celebrate the fact that another of ours has made the great leap to the bliss of the eternal beyond. I will always remember Larry as my dearest friend in childhood. And the Gossen home as a very close 2nd home. May he and Jeanne Ann and Mr. Gossen and all we know who have gone before look down favorably on us, and help get us some good seats up near the Beatific Vision in heaven, where we'll all pass a good time. Barney 
P.S. I can't make the funeral mass on Mon. But I plan to be at Fort Sam Houston Cemetery on Thursday.

We are so sorry to hear about Larry. He will be greatly missed from our Tobey family! Hearts and prayers are with you all. 
Sherrill and Cynthia

My condolences to Larry's family. Larry will be greatly missed. 
His warm smile, his wisdom, his generosity, his greatness as a leader, a caring boss, and a mentor always be with me in my heart.

Tobey and Gretchen, 
We were so saddened to read of your father's passing. We will always remember his sunny smile and sense of humor. He loved to tell a joke! Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. With love, 
the Glasow family

Gretchen and Tobey: The McNeely family celebrate your dad's uniqueness. We will miss his wonderful sense of humor. His love for his family was always evident.

My condolences to Larry's family. I feel that I was rewarded by being one of his employees for about 10 years at Datapoint. I never did consider him a boss because he knew how to lead people and get the job done.

Larry will remain a light in the lives and hearts of his family, friends and co-workers. While he was taken from his family too soon, you can bet that he will be looking down on Becky, his kids, and grandkids, sharing in the their many joys and triumphs, and sending guidance and love as he always did so well.

Very honored to call him friend in High School; only wish I could have lived a neighbor of Larry's my whole life...he was a very very special man.

Sarah, Dick, Tish and family, It was with great sadness we learned of Larry's death. We had been keeping up with information from the Landry and St Charles Academy family. Our sorrow and love go to all of you at this time. We know he will be greatly missed by everyone. We will remember Larry in our Catholic celebrations of the next three days. Easter Sunday we will rejoice that Larry has risen with our Lord into the gates of eternity. Mrs. Sarah, Mom sends her prayers and love to you. May our awesome God hold you all in his arms as you journey through this together. God Bless, Claudine, Gary, Aline and families

Miss Sarah and Family: You have my sympathy at this time of your lives. May God be with you.

What a wonderful person and loving individual we all had with Larry. We had many great times with our sorority functions, and especially that awesome "crawfish boil" he put on. We send our love and prayers to the entire Gossen Family, and ask especially for God's uplifting care to Tobey, Gretchen, Becky, his mom, brothers, and sisters.

Sarah, Dick and all: I am so sorry for your loss. I will keep you in my prayers

Larry was a special guy and special family to us. We will always remember him with a smile. Our thoughts are with you, Gretchen and Toby, Becky, Mrs. Gossen and all the family. I wish we could be there in person, but since we can't and we send our love. Mike and Sue

What a gentleman Larry was. I shall always remember how kind he was to me when I was a little girl. Our families will always be close. My prayers and thoughts are with the Gossens during this most difficult time.
