As Roy and I sit and think back and discuss stories of Larry, our favorite as a couple is when he always called us Joy and Rody after Bob Cushing started the nick name. As a cousin, Roy just remembers all of the years that they grew up together. Roy say’s there is just so many good, fun, enjoyable moments that he can’t name just one. You will be missed J.R. Prayers and Hugs to everyone in the family. Love: Roy, Jody & Temperance

We are so sorry for your loss of a son, brother, companion, DAD and GRANDFATHER. We didn’t have the privilege of knowing Larry well, but we know he was loved by his family and will be greatly missed. As the new babies arrive within the next few months, their parents will celebrate the happiest of days, however someone special will not be there to rejoice with them. I know that the little ones will be told stories about their grandpa and how he would have LOVED them. Please know that we love you so much, our hearts grieve with you and we will always be here for you. All of you are in our thoughts and prayers. Mom and Dad Fritz

It’s taken me a few to gather my thoughts. Our entire family is so very saddened by this news. There are years of history between our families. Larry was a great guy, talented musician and a great friend to my kid brother, Jeff Katje.
It gives a bit of comfort knowing that he is with Johnny and “the other Jeff” .
Please know that entire Katje family is praying for the entire Crawford family. We love you all muches.

It’s taken me a few to gather my thoughts. Our entire family is so very saddened by this news. There are years of history between our families. Larry was a great guy, talented musician and a great friend to my kid brother, Jeff Katje.
It gives a bit of comfort knowing that he is with Johnny and “the other Jeff” .
Please know that entire Katje family is praying for the entire Crawford family. We love you all muches.

Our hearts go out to Joy, Ashley, Megan and Kate and Larry, Candice and Chelsea. Larry was such a warm and friendly person, and clearly loved his family so very much. It’s obvious that he was many things to many people…..for me, I loved seeing how much he adored my Niece and took her daughters for his own. This is a man who will be greatly missed but never ever forgotten. R.I.P. Larry Jr. Love, Uncle Ray & Aunt Kate

Larry was a great person. Most of the time made you feel at home, I never herd him say a bad word about any one that is what we like the most about him. We always wish time would slow down so we can enjoy a certain persons visit, And we wish we would have made more time for Larry. He was missed and now will be really missed but not forgotten. He touched our hearts and so has joy his wife. She was give the right name and a bundle of it too. Love is in this family and may Jesus lessen the pain in time, he will. God bless, protect and keep this family his.
