"My deepest sympathy for your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers"

"I had met Larry through Tonya Wells and Sue Hoffman one summer about 14 years ago. They thought it was a good idea to introduce us since I was living in the Boston area at the time. Larry was very good to me and would check in on me quite often. I was actually living in Worcester and he made a few trips over to see me. He was always such a good and generous man. When I left Massachusetts, we kept in touch for a little while, but then as time passed, we lost touch. We would always laugh about how he was going to make it as a pro wrestler and be known to the world as "Luscious Larry Lovit". He always had a good joke to tell and he had a great laugh. Everyone who came in contact with him was truly affected by him. I'm sorry that I hadn't gotten a chance to speak with him in years. I can't imagine the pain that his family is going through right now. I will miss him and never forget how nice of a man he was. It was great knowing someone from your hometown when you are living so far away from home. Not many people would go as far as Larry did to show someone he had just met through high school classmates around the big city of Boston. I will be forever grateful. With My sincerest sympathy, Sandy Simon"

"Our thoughts and prayers are with your family at this difficult time..."

"I worked with Larry at the Big Boy, here in Marquette. Larry was always a happy guy. He also like to make people laugh. I haven't seen Larry in years, but I have often thought about him in the past years because of the kind of man he was. Larry could always make you smile no matter what. Later Larry"

"I have been sitting here trying to figure out what to say about Larry. I know Larry has struggled for some time now and so have his loved ones. It is tough losing someone with so much potential, so young, a man who truly was a good person on the inside. I can remember the many times he and Matthew (his 8 year old son) goofed around and laughed over stupid things; things like the big toilet bowl at some amusement park (in the U.P., I think). Matthew certainly has Larry's sense of humor. I also remember some of Larry's crazy quirks, like having to take buses all over Boston in snow storms to pick up his checks and cash them. Just because he was too old fashioned to get direct deposit - he wanted to do it "Larry's way." I am sure it drove my sister crazy. It made me smile to see the line in the obituary mentioning his contagious laugh. I had forgotten about that. I only hope people remember him for the person he was, not necessarily for the demons he struggled with in the end. My condolences to his family and loved ones. You are in my prayers."

"To the family of Larry Piasecki: I am very saddened to hear of Larry's untimely death. I was a high school classmate of his, and have lots of fond memories of him. I was very involved with athletics, and I remember how much he loved to participate in lots of different sports. He was a terrific guy who was always ready with a quick smile or joke. He will be greatly missed. With love and prayers - Marne Reiner (Liesch)"

"Tom & Christine: I wanted to let you know how sad I was to read about your son's death. All I have to offer at such a difficult time to those who loved Larry is my thoughts and prayers which seem so inadequate. I hope you will feel some measure of comfort knowing those of us who are aware of your great loss are praying for you and your extended family."

"Hi Chris and Tom: Judy Donckers called to tell me the sad news. Please know that I am thinking of you, and you are in my prayers. He was a happy little boy that I will remember always, and grew up to be a wonderful man. I will call soon to talk to you in person, and when I stay at Judie's next month will visit you. Love, Kathleen"

"Mr and Mrs Piasecki, I am so very sorry to hear about Larry. He was such a warm and loving man. He was so proud of his son...he told me on more than one occassion that his son was the world to him. Larry always had a warm hug for me and a smile, so full of life. He will be missed. You and your family are in our prayers...I'm so sorry. Love, Sue (Hoffman) Lillard and family"

"Tom, Chris, Connie, Mark and families:I am shocked and deeply saddened by the death of Larry. Being Connie's best friend growing up, I felt like Larry was an older brother to me. He always kept me and Connie laughing; sometimes so hard that tears would flow down our cheeks. There are so many memories... Larry will always be remembered by many as a ray of light on a cloudy day. I offer my deepest condolences to all of you."

"Tom/Chris...We are ever so sorry to hear about Larry. Our thoughts and prayers have been with you. May the sun shine upon your lives once again, and bring you laughter and happiness. With sympathy....Paul/Carole"

"No one can imagine or understand what you must be going through. Just know that you are in our thoughts and prayers and you have many friends and family thinking of you."

"To Mr. and Mrs. Piasecki, Mark, and Connie, I am sending you all my sympathy and prayers during this sad time. Larry was like a brother to me and I will cherish all the fond memories we all shared on Ash Street. When I think of him, I can still see him walking down the street with the bounce in his step and a smile on his face. I will truly miss his spirit and his friendship. I will carry those memories with me forever."

"Mr. And Mrs. Piasecki and family, my sincere condolences to you. Larry was perhaps one of the most non judgemental men I have met. He and I became friends in the 8th Grade when I first came to Gwinn. The friendship followed throughout high school. I went on my first double date with Larry. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him. Steve Welsch"

"My heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out to the PIASECKI family. When I saw Larry's picture it put a smile on my face just thinking about our high school days and his laugh. Larry will be sadly missed."

"Chris, Tom, Connie, and Mark, I just found out about your tragedy. But want you all to know how sorry I am for you, Your family will always have a special place in my heart and I will always remember Larry's smile and bounce. He will be sadly missed by many. I wish for God to bless you all and be with you in your time of need. Sincerely, Amber"
