My maiden name was Pash and went to school with Laryy and Janelle. So sorry to hear of his passing.
Eric and TJ, I’m sorry to hear of the loss of your dad. Love you guys.
Our hearts go out to the Kerger family. We are so sorry for your loss. Bill and Cyndie
Larry and I were classmates all 13 years. I’ll never forget a poem he wrote in elementary.
The snake bit the rake
The rake hit the snake
The snake died
I hope this brings a smile during this sad time. Condolences to Larry and Janelle’s family.

My last name was Ehlert, I was a classmate of Larry and Janelle. So sorry to hear this. He was a friend who helped me in chemistry with experiments ,it was a good time. My friend Connie and I had stopped to see Larry at his trailer awhile ago. We ended up staying about an hour had a nice visit. My sympathy to his family and friends. . I am sure he is happy to be with Janelle again.. prayers and hugs.
