Always a smile and a joy to be around, I admired him for his outward show of affection for his family, his work ethic and his upbeat demeanor. We will miss him and feel privileged to be counted as friends. Our deepest sympathy to Claudia, our “Fifth Son” Paul, and the entire Hayes family. RIP Larry Hayes, until we meet again.
I was always so proud to call him my big brother! I loved his laugh and his sense of humor. But I also loved how he loved people and wanted to see the best in them. He will be missed.
Thank you for loving my son and bringing him such joy. Dad and I have always been proud of your family. May God surround you with comfort and peace.
I pray that the angels in heaven are enjoying this sweet man as much as the rest of us have over the years. Just seeing Larry made my heart smile. Kindness, humor, unconditional love, generosity all glowed from those precious blue eyes at all times. Larry, I can’t wait to see you on those streets of gold! Claudia, my heart is with you. Love, Mom Pat

I have fond memories of my cousin Laurence. He was always called Laurence in my family. Even though he was 7 years older than me, he always made time to do things with me when we visited. I recall taking walks in the woods and him letting me drive an old beater pickup truck in a parking lot when I was maybe 13. If he was doing it out of obligation, it never felt that way.
A sad day – Larry was a unique and special person. He was a hard worker and cared deeply about his customers and would go to any lengths to help them out. He did see an engineer’s design of a chemical feed or disinfection system that knew he could improve and most of the time he was correct. We lost an great Leader of our industry – he will be missed .

It’s sad when someone leaves us too soon but comforting to know where their final home will be with Him. He was always a straight up fellow.
With heartfelt condolences, to Lyndia D Hayes, Grandma Claudia and the entire family
As a child I looked up to Larry (we called him Laurence then). He was our oldest cousin and I thought he was pretty cool. After moving away, over the years we didn’t see each other much but tried to keep in touch. Our last visit was at my home in California in 2007. Fortunately the whole family was here. I’ve attached a photo from that visit of Larry and Claudia with his California relatives: Aunt JoAnne (Hayes) and cousins Kris, Rich, Barbara (me), Mark, and Carolyn and some of our family members. RIP cousin Larry and my heartfelt condolences to Claudia, their children, my Aunt June, my cousins Teresa and Janeen, and their families and friends.
Please accept our most heartfelt sympathies for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.
Your family is in our prayers as we remember such a wonderful man.
I worked with Larry many times over the years in my job with the Indiana State Dept. of Health. I always found him to be a pleasure to work with. He was extremely knowledgeable and could always be counted on to do quality work and find solutions to difficult problems. He was also a fun person to be around. If you were not in a good mood when you met with Larry, you were when you left him. He will be missed. My deepest condolences to his family in this difficult time. Jim Powers

With deepest sympathy,
I will miss hearing Larry’s soaring voice calling praises and entreaties to the Lord during prayer time in our worship services. I will miss the certainty of his faith and consideration of all the possibilities, which might mean moving mountains. He now has his reward for good and faithful service.
Please accept my most heartfelt sympathies for your loss… Larry was a blessing to myself and everyone who knew him.
Our very deepest condolences!
Larry was a very special person. The years that I knew him I came to love him and Claudia. The last time I saw them Larry prayed for me and I could tell he had a special link to the Almighty. He will be missed by all who knew him.
