Aunt Mary Jo, Rebecca, Aaron, Joel, Sarah, Rachel, Nathan, Jacob, and Caleb,
I don't know how to find the words. There is nothing that I can say or do that will make it okay. My thoughts and prayers are with you all, as are the thoughts and prayers of so many others, as was made obvious by the people who came to the funeral. He was so funny, he was so kind. I was so lucky to have him in my life. Thank you all for letting us have just a little piece of him.

Mary Jo,
Charles and I were saddened to learn of Larry's death. We loved visiting with him and hearing all about you and the children. He was so very proud of his family. The last time we saw him was when he brought Holy Communion to my brother Andy when we were visiting Andy and Olena.
Please know that you and your family are in our prayers and thoughts. May God bless all of you.
Love,

Hello Mary Jo & Family: I remember the most recent time I was in church. I saw Larry and started toward him after the service and he smiled when I got close to him and he smiled when I left and i will always remember that smile. I feel fortunate to have known Larry. Bless each of you.
Paul.

Mary Jo, Larry was my first cousin. I think you know my sisters in Little Rock. I remember one year I was home visiting and one of your children was getting married and I came to the recception with Lilly. I believe it was in the old cotton gin. I was so sorry to hear of Larry's death. How hard it must be for you and your children. I shall remember you all in my prayers.

Dear Mary Jo,
My heart is broken. I loved Larry.I got to know him when he was in Chicago studying electrial work. We would meet downtown, have lunch and talk..He was about 8 years younger than I so we really did not grow up together but as adults got to know each other.
I last saw him about 4 years ago while Bill and I were visiting Conway. The Bazaar was happening so we got to see him there. We also met several of your sons.
I got to speak with him for a short time again at my brother Andy's funeral in March of this year.
God Bless all of your family Mary Jo. Bill joins me in offering the most sincere condolences to you.
Lovingly,
Mary Mammoser

Larry was a special person and an outstanding family man. He gave to others everyday of his life and he will be missed. I think one of his greatest accomplishments is the outstanding children he and his wife Mary Jo have raised. They are all exceptional individuals and leaders. It is what he leaves behind (his children) I think he can be most proud of.

We will miss Larry so much! He was a great man...a friend to all who knew him. He was so friendly and kind and helpful to everyone. I remember the time he went on our Girl Scout camping trip up on Petit Jean mountain. He strung up lights, secured our tents in the wind storm and entertained us with campfire stories . He had a magical truck full of tools and equipment and he could create and fix anything in a jiffy, just like McGyver!
Larry has truly earned his heavenly reward. He lived and breathed hisCatholic faith...what an inspiration to all of us!
Love, Susan Nabholz Denys,

My sincere condolences to the Seiter family. Growing up with the Seiters, I have known Larry my entire life. Many a summer day was spent at their house running around in the back yard and playing on that old tire swing. Later in life spent several times camping and hunting with Larry and the boys. We liked to talk wine making whenever we would see each other throughout the year. Lots of good times there, he will be missed but never forgotten. - Craig Imboden
