I’m so sorry for your loss. May the God of all comfort be their for you and your family at this sad time. He promises to bring our loved ones back to us in the resurrection (John 5:28,29). Until then let all those good memories sustain you.
My deepest sympathy to Larry’s loved ones. My heart goes out to you all during this extremely difficult time. Larry was a wonderful friend to my brother, Brent. He meant alot to my father, John who both worked with him at Lords. I know my brother looked forward to seeing Larry everyday and appreciated his friendship.
At times like these, “I’m sorry” sounds so empty and yet, it’s all I know to say. I am deeply saddened for your sad, very sudden loss. Please know you have been in my prayers.
Truly,
Natalie Miller & Family
My Condolences to the Colvin Clan. I enjoyed the time I spent in Larry’s company during our youth. RIP ’79 Classmate.
I met Larry many years ago through Cliff Caldwell, and together, they welcomed me like a brother into the Cambridge Springs fraternity. I discovered it was a great town, and I quickly learned it was great because of people like Larry and Cliff. Though I haven’t seen Larry in years, I often reflect on my time in Cambridge and the wonderful memories of friends I made there. I’m glad I had the opportunity to know him. To Mort and the rest of the Colvin family, please accept my condolences and deepest sympathies.
So sorry to hear this, Hugs to Mort,Dale,Julie and the entire family.
Larry was a great friend from my younger years. He and Mort helped me get a job working at Shorts’ Red and White. Larry, Jeff Nolan and I would have some really great times together exploring the back roads of Cambridge and camping near Kinzua. He was always a kind and caring person with a genuine heart. I really enjoyed time with him and Jeff. I am terribly saddened to hear of his passing and my deepest condolences to Mort and the entire Colvin family.
