Larry was a true gentleman and would always jokingly reply “struggling” when asked how he was doing. We feel fortunate to have known Larry and always enjoyed talking with him and parties and sporting events. Larry’s character will always live on through the Ring sons and grandsons.

I remember Mr. Ring as a kind and considerate man who loved his family deeply. Even though he was very busy in his profession, he always found time to support his children. I can still see Mr & Mrs. Ring in the stands, smiling and cheering for David and our basketball team. Mr. Ring will be missed, but never forgotten. God bless.

Annette, David, & Jere’ I’ve just heard of Larry’s passing through Jere’s note. Being so far away, sometimes the grapevine doesn’t quite reach. Our tender thoughts and prayers are with you.

Annette & David, I’ll never forget the compassion you showed at my Mom’s passing. Jere’…..just got your card, miss you and will write soon. Bless you all. JF
