Condolences for Larry Ronald Raschella

Deb, Jen and family I was saddened to hear of Larry's passing. He was a gentle, kind and inspirational human being someone that I would certainly strive to be like. I always felt welcomed in your home by Larry and remember the occasions we celebrated when employed at TRG. I wish we would have kept in contact. I will always remember Larry with a smile on his face nothing seemed to get him down or discourage him. My prayers and thoughts are with the Raschella family.

My dear friend Deb, Jen & Kurt, Anna & Sawyer my heart felt sadness cannot be expressed with words because the lost has a void in so many hearts but more importantly yours. My prayer is that in time the happy loving memories I know were shared through the many years will help to comfort you. I will forever miss Larry. The way Larry showed his kindness to me was in a way very few people I have known has. For many years I shot sporting clays with Larry and Debbie as well as other friends. Week after week I shot with a gun that didn’t fit me correctly. My hand would quickly turn black and blue from the trigger guard hitting it with every shot. In spite of that I kept shooting and improving but had trouble with certain types of shots. Larry wanting to help me improve noticed my hand and was shocked that I keep shooting when something was obviously wrong. He watched me shoot and very quickly realized what was happening and knowing he could fix it asked if he could have my gun to make adjustments. From that day on I’ve been so thankful I can do something that I still enjoy but now painless because of Larry’s extraordinary kindness. I have witnessed his admirable soft spoken positive attitude, sincere patience, unconditional encouragement as well as been gifted with receiving for which I will hold as a special memory. Love and Prayers, Judy Ristow
