"?We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.? 2 Corinthians 5:8 (KJV) Prayers of peace, love and comfort to the Larry Roddy family and granddaughter LaNautica aka babygirl. Larry was a good friend to myself and my husband Gary, and we will miss him dearly. "
"May your love for each other bring you comfort in your time of sorry. Larry had deep love for family and friends; I always felt it when I was with him. His smile, his calm will truly be missed. RIP Larry, hold on family. Valerie "
"Sending love and heartfelt comfort to the entire family of Larry Roddy. As a former member of our church family, the Roddy family and LaNautica have always been near and dear to my heart. My family will continue to pray for the Roddy family and embrace LaNautica. Love, The Williams family "
"Larry was part of our extended family for the 17 years we were neighbors. He would always greet us with exuberance and flash his charming smile, often offering a wry comment or joke. He touched every member of our family, invariably greeting our young granddaughter as "Lady Lydia" and making her feel special. He was the best neighbor, often racing us to clear snow from our sidewalks before we made it outside. He took on neighborhood improvement and safety as part of his concerns. But especially, he was a dear friend, someone to confide in, who was there through thick and thin, and a generous spirit who gave of himself unstintingly to others, enriching the lives of all who knew him. He dearly loved La'Nautica, from the time she was a toddler to graduation from high school, throwing her the fanciest graduation party ever. He was devoted to her, even letting her bunny have free rein in the house. We are grateful to have known you and will miss you--the world is a poorer place without your presence. Marsha and Joe"
"We are so sorry. He will be missed by everyone here at National Coney Island."
