Larry was somebody whose actions focused on helping and serving others. He was devoted to his wife Colleen, and to helping his parish. As junior warden of Holy Trinity Anglican Church, he organized improvements on the landscaping, plumbing, electrical, and updated the lettering of the sign often. I find it astonishing that just one day before his passing he came forward with John Williams and presented me to Bishop Banek for my institution. Larry looked so alive and happy.
Moreover, Larry had a sense of humor; his jokes made us laugh, and his posts on Facebook were funny and wholesome. His frenetic activities in serving others right up to the last hour of his life made his sudden death so shocking. Certainly he will gain rewards in Heaven for good works. We miss Jr. Warden Larry Eaves.

There is not one bad thing I can say about Larry. I will miss his patriotism, I will miss him at events, I will miss his classic movie trivia, I will miss that he always seemed proud of me, I will miss his humor, I will miss his photos of food I can’t eat, I will miss his love of God and family. I know I’m missing something but I’m still in shock. OUCH!!
Please don’t put off living any longer. Tomorrow is not promised.
Larry, you were loved!!

Larry and I hit it off immediately, talking for a half-hour or more on the doorstep of Holy Trinity, sharing stories of common friends in the Kansas City area (where I grew up.) He quickly became a close friend, sharing many common interests and life experiences. He would chide me for using words in some email or whatever which he would have to look up. Thus, every time I could, I would include a word that I knew he’d have to look up — mainly because I had to look it up to make sure I was using it correctly. Going to miss everything about my friend.

Larry was a wonderful friend and neighbor. He was always smiling, happy, in a good mood and offering to help to others. Our “First Friday” neighborhood dinners will never be the same without him. He will be missed.

Larry was a very terrific man, I knew him for my entire life, and was always very nice to me at all the family get togethers even though sometimes not seeing very often.
Many blessings to the family in this time of sadness and need.

I was just thinking about Larry the other day and how I should contact him to see how he was doing. We always enjoyed his company and sense of humor. Unfortunately, we have not seen him since before the pandemic. He will be greatly missed and his family is in our prayers.

Larry, with his sense of humor and his kind, quiet demeanor, will be sorely missed in the neighborhood. Love and prayers for Colleen and family…

Larry was the most caring man I have ever known. He went to such great lengths to see that everyone else’s needs were met. He was there when my husband needed transportation to men’s lunches and I was so thankful for that. He would dig deep to find people’s special needs and meet them. He will be so missed by my son and I. Our prayers go out to Coleen and his family.

I never met Larry in person, but felt I knew him through our FB communications. I’ll miss those posts. Prayers for his wife and family for peace and comfort.
