I am so sorry for your loss and our prayers are with you Kathy, Brian, Tracy and Shannon. I spent most of my childhood at the Fuss house playing with Shannon and spending time with Larry and Kathy. My heart is broken that he is gone but also at peace that he is now with our maker and no longer in his tired body. I am proud so say I had a chance to spend so much of my childhood with such a wonderful, funny man. You will be missed by many.

Larry was one of the good guys. He loved U of M so much, that for years, I made him think I liked Notre Dame, just so we’d have something to argue and laugh about. I also really enjoyed playing rounds with him on the Golf trips up North, he loved to have fun and laugh. God broke the mold after he made Larry, he was one of a kind. If he considered you to be a friend, you were fortunate.

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to Kathy and family. All through our school years, Larry always had smiles for everyone and such a positive sense of humor. He was truly a kind person. Knowing him was an honor. Larry will certainly be missed by so many.

Larry was one of the good guys. He loved U of M so much, that for years, I made him think I liked Notre Dame, just so we’d have something to argue and laugh about. I also really enjoyed playing rounds with him on the Golf trips up North, he loved to have fun and laugh. God broke the mold after he made Larry, he was one of a kind. If he considered you to be a friend, you were fortunate.
