I'm sorry to hear about him passing away. Glad he could do a last ride in his Corvette and spent some quality time before he took off to a better place...

May your memories be clear, honor him by being the stand up guy he would want you to be.
I am so sorry it had to end as it did, way too soon, but as you stated initially, life ain't fair.
I do believe there is a reason it went down this way, I only wish I was wise enough to share it with you all.
Condolences from Texas.

I am so sorry for your loss. It always seems the toughest on those that are left behind. It is awesome that his final days were spent surrounded by those he loved and those that loved him. I'm sure his heart was joyful that he had the opportunity to spend his last days the way he did.
I will have the deputies I am working with on Saturday observe a moment of silence in remembrance of a fallen brother.
He will be waiting for you ...... I swear it.

My heart goes out to this public servant and loved ones. Jesus washed His disciple's feet to show them that He had come to serve, and not to be served. He set an example for the rest of us to follow. I don't know this man, but I do know what a firefighter's life is like, and it is, for the most part, and thankless, dangerous job protecting and serving folks that you don't even know. My heart goes out to him, and my prayers for everyone concerned.

I would like to thank all of you for your kind words and good thoughts during this difficult time. You have been very comforting to me as I have coped with the loss of my friend.
Larry's funeral was on Saturday, October 13. A solo bagpiper played as an honor guard from the Baltimore City Fire Department accompanied his casket into the church, where hundreds of his friends, family members, and comrades came to pay their last respects. A number of those in attendance were retired Baltimore firefighters who had worked with Larry, many of whom drove or flew in from across the country to attend his funeral. Most members of the BCFD command staff were there, and BCFD Chief James Clack delivered one of the eulogies.
The funeral procession, led by a BCFD engine, was a mile long. Two ladder trucks were stationed at the cemetery entrance, their aerial ladders raised and extended, with an American flag hung between them. The piper played at the cemetery, and a bugler played Taps as Larry was laid to rest on a cold, crisp and crystal clear fall day.
His family and friends will miss him, but I have no doubt they took comfort in the fact that so many people loved, admired, and respected Larry.

Again, from the bottom of my heart, thank you all...
