To the Quirk family, my deepest sympathy. For the short time that I was able to work with Larry, I realized what an impact he made on so many peoples lives, always full of energy and his trademark smile. Larry will be deeply missed by all. Remember that this is not "goodbye", it is only "until we meet again".

oh little wee wee, is how it sounded when scott would say your name when you guys were 4 or 5 years old. You were my other brother. Annoying me. The trip to Sam's graduation was so great because you were there! You cracked us up. It would have been awful without u there.You were there for me on route 12 when the girl's and I got in the car wreck! You will always be in my heart. You were Naty's first crush. Kyle thinks of you as his uncle. You are my brother! You were the best!You were once again my neighbor, now we have parted. All my love to all of you! I morn with you! Roz (Scott's sister)

My sincere condolence goes out to your family and friends.


Larry,
All what keeps going through my head since you left us was – When I was sitting on recliner early Sunday morning, you came from behind and gave me a HUGE bear hug! I’m going to miss those hugs!
FoxLake will never be the same without you there. Memories lasts forever! Thanks for being a WONDERFUL friend! You will always be in our hearts forever! You are missed terribly but never forgotten! I know you are watching over us all.

I LOVE YOU!

REST IN PEACE!

I am so sorry for the unexpected loss of Jr. I know that he will be missed by all. I'll always remember his zest for life and his "BIG" smile. Especially when he was caught doing something he wasn't suppose to be doing.

Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow,
May looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow.
May God's loving care ease the pain of your loss, and help you hold fast to hope.
