To the Clarke Family………
There are no words to express the shock of Larry’s sudden passing………..please know my sympathy goes out to all of you as you try and cope with this heavy hearted loss of your brother and dear uncle.
I am going to miss running into him, it was always a pleasure seeing him, reminiscing and “catching up.” It just won’t be the same without seeing him cruising around in his “Old Red”…..
Thinking of you,

Through the years working with Larry at Hester Creek, he became a good friend and confidant. Larry was always willing to lend a hand, offer advice or simply listen.

I would like to extend my sincere sympathies to the Clarke Family. Larry was an involved and supportive member of our community. He was generous with his smiles, his laughter, his music and many acts of kindness both big and small. Aesop said “No act of kindness, no matter how small is ever wasted.” Larry will not be forgotten. May happy memories of Larry sustain you.

Dear Ralph.Jane. RA and the Clarke family, We send our deep sympathy and condolences to you on the untimely passing of Larry. Like many others we would bump into Larry (usually at a Parks and Rec function) and we always enjoyed our visits and conversations. We saw him in September and he told us that he was happy and everything was good in his world. He will be missed.
