    Gloria,

    Judy told me Larry had died. I did not know he was in hospice. He had the best of care because you provided it for so long. You are a wonder. You kept him going and able to participate actively in life for many more years than would have been possible without you.
    I really enjoyed being with Larry. He was funny, had a very dry wit, and played a mean game of “ Hand and Foot.” Our shared times in the UP and in Florida with you and Larry were always fun. You never arrived anyplace empty handed and I can still taste those home grown tomatoes from your garden.
    We think of you often and not a visit to the Bublitz homes goes by that there is not some wonderful reminisce of” the good old day.” Please share our sympathy with your family.
    Susan and Steve

    I reread your Christmas card today and thought how you two were still enjoying this earthly life together, even with the obstacles. We are so happy that Larry was a Brother in Christ so that we can see each other in heaven. What a blessed promise. We didn’t see each other as much as we would have liked but cherish the times we did. God’s blessings on you and the family.

    I want to say how very sorry i am for your loss, I had the extreme pleasure of having Mr. Taylor in high school and he had a profound impact in my life. He was not only an amazing teacher but someone who wad always there if you needed help of any kind. He was generous in spirit and loyal to his students and wanted the best for all of us who were blessed to have him educate us. You his family have such a wonderful legacy that he left behind not only within you but within the entire falcon family. I hope you find solace and comfort knowing that he meant so much to so many. May god keep you in his arms as you walk the path of your lives without him but know we all walk with you. He is now an angel above who will never be forgotten.
    I will forever say thank you for all you taught and all our conversations about careers and you will go down as one of my absolutel favorite teachers EVER. May you now rest in peace.

    Condolences to your family “LT”, was quite the character when I was in high school. In typing class he passed me with a D+, I think just to get me out of there. There was a drill, he called out a word and you typed it, everyone typed it then I did afterwards. I remember someone in the back of the class saying Okay who was the slow one, I sat right in front of “LT” and he just chuckled because he knew it was me. He was also my Driver’s Ed teacher and taught me how to drive. Sorry for your loss. Great memories though.
