Kinds words from Family Friends and Strangers
Larry Stauffer - The Angel That Got Away On Sunday my dear friend and mentor Larry Stauffer passed away. Larry was an inspiration to me. He was always someone I could aspire to be. Someone to reach for. He was a quiet yet powerful man. The most decent of souls. I honestly don't know anyone who is as decent, kind and honorable as Larry. A giant of a man. Selfless. Devoted to his family. He was a rock for all that knew him. The Stauffer family were the only family I had over here in the US. They always made me more than welcome to their home and hearts. I cannot even fathom their loss. If you knew Larry and spent any time with him you would know what I meant. I only hope they can all find some peace over the coming months. I send Kate, Liz, Nick and Michael all my love and support. The world has suffered a great loss. We have lost one of the best. I've sat here alone pondering his passing since Sunday. I still cannot believe it has happened. It reminds me how fragile life is. It reminds me to love my family and friends. It reminds me to cherish the time we all have together. Larry Stauffer's passing has deeply and profoundly affected me and all those that knew him. I simply don't have the words to express the depth of feeling he has triggered. I will miss him enormously. If angels are real then Larry was a true angel on the earth. The angel that got away. I love you Larry wherever you are. See you soon brother. - Francis Dunnery We are so sorry to hear of this tragedy. Larry brought so much light and joy with him into our homes and business and we will miss seeing him. His love for his family was palpable. May you all find healing in the support and love from friends, family and community. - Silenia and John Rhoads Larry will truly be missed. Vince & I loved when walking Lulu & Otis & Oliver& all the other Springers before them through the woods , Larry would come off the trail to our house to stop in & chat. We will cherish those unexpected happy & sometimes sad, visits sharing a beer or glass of wine & love of dogs. We picture Larry in heaven hitting tennis balls to all his Springers who have passed. - Carole Buettner So sorry to hear of Larry's passing.

We love you and we want to help in the same way that Larry was always so helpful and kind to us. - Stacey Crooks I just found out about Larry and spent 24 hours not speaking in sadness. What a monumental loss. - Marjie Hargrave So sorry for your loss, my friend. I remember him driving us to an amateur wrestling match when we were in elementary school. I think it was at a college. He always welcomed me into his home and I remember him being very kind. He was a good man and so are you. I'll be thinking of you and your family. - Joe Vin Yo You dad gave me so much fatherly love in my time at Cabrini I've always held him and you in my heart. So senseless. Larry was true blue. The rarest breed. So grateful to have known him. I love you so much. - Mary Jacobs I’m so damn mad, and sad. I had only recently started stumbling to your house after hearing many stories about your fam before I actually got to hang out with them. I could immediately tell that it was really something special, and you guys had this sort of magic family bond that I really hadn’t experienced growing up. I loved that cool dynamic so sometimes I’d just shoehorn myself in by texting when I’d be in the wawa at the area, just to be around, haha. You’re so lucky to have had each other, I know you know that. Plz always keep sharing stories of y’all, I love to hear em. And rn do what you gotta do. Scream at the wall or the sky, you know. Wish I could have done real, luckier witchcraft or something. Hit me up for both coping and distraction. - Arthur Oak Such fond memories of Larry, all the way back to VF Jr. High. So sorry to learn of his passing. My heart goes out to Kate and the family. You will get through this, one day at a time - with the love and support you all have from friends and family. - Lisa MacElwee-Todd My little brother is missing I’ll never be the same I get a tearful smile Whenever I speak his name It wasn’t supposed to be this way Some things you can’t explain I wish there was some simple way To take away this pain I know how I will remember him When sun shines through the rain I sit alone in a quiet place A single tear runs down my face I feel his spirit, his strength, his grace Wait for me little brother, we will meet again one day We’ll run and laugh and come home late Like how we used to play - Don Stauffer
