"I am so sorry to hear about Jamie. He was a very good friend of ours and a close friend to my brother, Butch. We will all miss Jamie a lot. He was a great person and we have many, many memories with him from school and after. We will be attending the service in Green Bay but will be thinking of his family that are not here. Tammy, I have not met you but other friends of ours have and say you are a wonderful person also. Our prayers are with you, his stepchildren, and of course his boys that are here in Green Bay. God Bless you. Kris Dhein & Ric Crowley"

"You defined the word friend without even saying a word. You never thought twice you always put us first. On the morning of Oct 21, 2004 at 0500 hours I found myself in my living room awake telling you all these words. You are greater than the mountains, larger than anything we see, I have watched you touch so many with little to no effort, I'm amazed how this can be. You are there when I see all thats good, you help get through the bad, you are there on Monday night when your second team "THE PACKERS" look so sad. I will see you every Sunday, every Monday, every day. You soar like and eagle now in everything we say. You will be greatly missed in person but you are permanent in our hearts and minds, thank you for every moment you give us, you are greatly loved by all. We thank you once again my friend, we see you with every day. LARRY YOU ARE LARGER THAN LOVE!!! RCC*"

"I just returned from Jamie's memorial service here in Green Bay. What a shame to see all of our old friends from high school over such sad circumstances. Jamie was a very dear friend to my brother, Butch, who could not be with us today. I am sure Butch would want me to tell you how very much he will miss him and how grateful he is for the very many memories. Jamie reminds me a lot of my brother. Probably because for some time, they pretty much grew on each other. Same shape, same walk, same attitude. I have not seen Jamie much in the last years since he moved away. He was truly an awesome guy. I hope you are finally at peace Jamie. Love ya."

"I may not be a friend, but have had Larry, on a few occassions, help assist my search or answer questions during his work times. He was not only friendly but showed interest in every aspect of his work. He was by far an asset to his work as to , I am sure, everyone with whom he shared his life with. My Thoughts are with you in your time of great loss and my payers with Larry as he now watches over those whom used to watch over him. God Bless and guide you all!"
