Wife's Eulogy for Husband My husband was such a wonderful man, I'm not sure I can really express just how much I will miss him. Not only was he a wonderful husband, but a wonderful father, grandfather, best friend, colleague and so much more. Larry's ability to make everyone feel comfortable, secure and loved, where his greatest strengths. He can also be stubborn sometimes. It has been nearly 28 years since we were first married and I look back over those years with so much happiness. His favorite saying was "What's Up, Homies". Larry may be in heaven now, but I know he is looking down at us with a big smile on his face saying, "Forge ahead-Make the best of life, and I'll see you soon. We have a work to do up here too." Goodbye my dear, sweet husband God Bless Love Always, your Beautiful wife "Sandy B"
