We are sorry to hear of Larry’s passing. He lived in my moms neighborhood in Highmore. I got to know Larry through meals on wheels. He and his mom, Inez were good neighbors and friends.
I love that smile on Larry's face. My siblings remember that he always made them laugh.
I pray that you all have many happy memories of Larry.
Know that my thoughts and prayers are with you all.
So sad to hear about Uncle Larry’s passing. I loved visiting him at the farm when I was a little girl. Sending all our love and prayers.
Our deepest sympathy to you all, as Larry has passed on. We have fond memories of the Holter family growing up. We were recalling some of them. After the tornado, did you stay in Ericksons house? We found a fewwww neat old comic books. Wish we would have kept them! So glad you were all part of our community of old family friends. So sorry to say good-bye to Larry. He was there, in Platte on memorial day for many years. A lot of us ended up in the same little section of the cemetery in Platte. We will all be with Larry someday – hopefully- not too soon.
Hug and Prayers to Larry's family. We loved our Holter neighbors and have many fond memories.
