"My sincere condolences to the Burland family. Larry was my favorite cousin. There were many times we shared together. He was one of the most humorous people I have ever known. One of my most favorite things that Larry ever said was when we were going to the Queen Mary in Long Beach California. Larry went to the window to purchase tickets and when the cashier told him how much it was going to cost he said, ?I just want to look at the ship not buy it?. The girl thought he was crazy. I, along with many, many people will miss him. He will be remember forever. Rest well cousin."

"Larry was a smile, a comedian, a raconteur, a pretty bad golfer (but that never mattered) an all round great guy. His description of his legendary visit to China still reverberates in my brain. We will miss you Mister Burland. Hope the journey wasn?t too rough. Steve and Karen"
