My sincere condolences to the Mayovsky family. I worked with Larry during his employment with the Oregon National Guard.
It is so nice to hear from all of my dads old friends and service buddys. Thank you everyone so very much! My dad will be missed very very much by many people. I hope to see everyone at the services on Friday if you are able to make it.
I remember how Larry really loved all the Holidays ! He loved to decorate, and I think this was great. I have followed in his footsteps,and will always think of him whenever a holiday comes around.
I know i already wrote but thought of acouple of things. Did anybody have his cookies with no recipe? or his fotune cookies he would buy “as is”. or his kindness of sending you things “just because”?My husband wanted to say that he was funny and kind or maybe kinda funny, this is what joked about.
My personal condolence to Larry Mayovsky’s family. We served together in the 641st Military Intelligence Battalion, Oregon Army National Guard, Salem OR. Larry was a very dedicated soldier and I was proud of his service and to the unit.
I worked with Larry at BSRL and went motorcycle riding with him a time or two in the sixties. Have a couple of photos of him with his big hat on my cycle, email if you want them. Regards, Gary Curtis
I remember Larry always having a smile and enjoying life ~ His friendly nature and upbeat personality is evident in his children today ~ I pray that your fondest memories will sustain your heart through this difficult time. God bless you!
Shannon & family
Our family wishes to offer our condolences on the loss of Larry. He always came to Horne family get-togethers, liking to “hit the road” with the family in your station-wagon . You all sure did like to take trips. I remember he was the cookie-baker of the house. His great interest in serving his country was very admirable. The memorial at the Tahoma Natl.Cemetary for him was just wonderful. Pam, Cheri, Matt, Mark and John, you planned and carried out some beautiful ceremonies in honor of Larry’s life. I know he’s pleased.
I just wanted to add a little something about the fortune cookies.
I would pick Larry up and bring him out for a bite to eat, and we always had to stop in Chinatown so Larry could get fortune cookies that were “seconds”,those that were not perfect. He would put them in baggies and bring them to the Talbot nursing home, or pass them out to other tenants in his apartment building. They loved Larry for his genorosity,another way he was helping others .
May God Bless and Watch over.
I can’t believe it’s been 19 years since my dad passed away.
It’s comforting to read the messages left here.
He really did enjoy the holidays.
I miss him.
