Jay & Ingrid Cooley from Dallas, Texas. Extending our condolences. Our thoughts & 🙏🙏 are with Grandma & the whole family.
We’re so thankful we got to be a part of Grandpa’s life. He was always full of stories and made us laugh. He was gentle and funny and upbeat. He included us as part of the Larney family. Thank you for your friendship.
Loved his gentle & kind spirit. We will miss his jokes & stories and smiling face.
Tish and I are deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Don, who was a deeply respected and beloved man of the family. He was a wise and generous man, who always had a kind word and a smile for everyone and a story to share. He touched many lives with his warmth and compassion, and he will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Tish and I offer our sincere condolences to you and your family during this difficult time. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. I hope you find comfort in the memories of the happy times you spent with him, and in the knowledge that he is now smiling down upon you, and may his legacy live on through you all, his wife, children and grandchildren.
Love, Chris and Tish
We’ll miss our brother in law more than words can say. He loved meandering down Mainstreet Winder, Ga. whenever he & my sister Rita were staying with us. We always took “day trips” with them when they visited us. He was a great tour guide of Manhattan & Long Island whenever we stayed with them & he knew the history of who settled & where. He was the most sociable person we ever knew & always at the ready to hold conversations with total strangers as if they were friends. Our hearts hurt over his passing.
We are so sorry for this loss. We feel so lucky to have known Don. Visiting was always such a wonderful time. Don is one of the kindest, generous, and smartest person I have ever met. He is in a mansion in Heaven waiting to welcome all of us!
I am so grateful to have met you both. Those who live their Christian values to the fullest are rare but Don and you are among the” Angels on Earth”. He will remain in our grateful hearts forever. Our deepest sympathies to you and your family.
