I'm so sorry for your loss. I only met Larry once years ago but he left a great impression on me. He had a great smile & I felt my cousin had found the person she was meant to be with. I could feel the love they had for each other. It saddens me knowing she & his family have lost him.

I worked with Larry for a number of years in export trade. When I learned of his tragic passing, I could only think of his warm, gracious smile. Obviously many people also remembered this dear trait of his. His obituary captured his true personality. I was lucky enough to enjoy many days with him on the golf course and shared many laughs. May he rest in peace. Randy Mayberry; Sandersville, GA

The news of Larry's passing was so very difficult for Sherry and me to comprehend, and we are both still in a state of shock. Kelly and Trish kept us updated throughout his brave fight, and for that, we remain most grateful. Larry was more than a friend, he was my brother and we shared many, many good times, and some not so good ones. He was always there for my family and me, as he was for many others. We will more than miss him, and we hope and pray that his entire family will always remember what a fine man Larry was always. RIP, my brother. Raymond & Sherry

- Raymond Georges, Savannah , GA

So many beautiful tributes shared in this guestbook by Larry's friends. Larry never met a stranger and was loved by everyone who met him. I had the personal pleasure of being one of Larry's friends since I was also a member of the JOHN S. JAMES GANG. Tom James sent Larry and me on a ten day trip to Europe and BELIEVE ME, It WAS a trip. We also got some business done. To Kelli, Ross and TRISH, Harriet and I extend our deepest sympathies, LOVE and PRAYERS to each of you... God Bless You !!! And May Larry Rest In Peace. Joe

- Joe Ebberwein, Savannah, Georgia

Dear Trish, I am heartbroken for you. You have lost a great man. I hope you can find a lace of peace and comfort in these terrible times.

- Richard Myers, Pooler, GA

Trish, Kelli and Ross, how blessed I was to work with Larry for 30 plus years at JSJ. Had the opportunity to travel a few times to Mexico with him. Even in the square in Vera Cruz Larry was handing out candy to the little children and buying their trinkets. Always the gentleman. Always with a smile on his face. I am very sorry for your loss, he was definitely taken way to soon. But know that he is flashing that smile on you now from heaven. Lynn Welsh

- Lynn Welsh, Guyton, Georgia

Larry Thompson and I go back to September 1961. Larry then was about 4 ft Tall and I well, I was taller. We seemed to hit it off well, playing football at BC. Larry was a great running back at BC # 22. He was a 3 sport athlete who didn’t back down. That friendship which lasted thru the good times and bad, was always strong. Sixty years, what can I say, he never changed, he’d give you the shirt off his back, he’d find a way. Yes everyone’s right he had that smile that never dimmed, bright as always, never wanted to leave till last call, but more friends than anyone I know . I can tell you all of his BC guys loved him, it was easy. God bless him We’ll miss you Pal

- T Ryan, Savannah, Ga

Have known Larry for about 25 years and worked with him at JSJ for 10 years. He was one the most positive people I have ever known. Great loss and my condolences to the family.

There are not enough words or time to describe how wonderful and compassionate Larry was. He will be missed, remembered, and forever loved by all who had the privilege to know him. By all the comments here, I know that the outpouring of love you receive during this difficult time shows how much Larry touched people's lives for the better. There is a saying "Smile, it is the key that fits the lock of everybody's heart." Larry had that smile. Deepest Sympathies, John (65) and Peggy Grady

I have known LT for more years than I can remember. He was always a true gentleman and had a smile on his face that would light up a room for everyone. He always remembered others and amazingly never met a stranger. He lived his life to the fullest and I pray that he now rests in wonderful heavenly peace as he shares the heavenly kingdom's love. Trish, Kellie and Ross, my prayers of comfort go out to you as you walk through these days to come. Remember the love and crazy things LT has done in the past and it surely will put a smile on your face. *We will all meet again in heaven one day* Peace be with you my Friend. Amen

I would like to share with the family how much Larry meant to me.

Today, we laid to rest Larry Thompson, in the family plot, in Forrest Lawn Memory Gardens. Finally, back with his parents, he will experience eternal peace, in their company. It was a lovely ceremony, attended by innumerable folks that I didn't know, as I live in Florida. This was a magnificent tribute to the man we all know and love, simply as "LT". Father Patrick O'brien officiated the ceremony, pointing out, on numerous occasions, Larry's devotion to his family and loved ones. Larry was well respected. By his own account, he was a pretty fair golfer, as well as being popular for his varied recipes, in particular the LT Spaghetti with Angel Hair Pasta, along with his cherished personality and infectious smile, and he will be missed by all who ever had the fortune to make his acquaintance.
