I remember Larry from when we were kids. He was such a happy, pleasant guy. Even though I only saw him occasionally as an adult, his easy going friendliness always stood out. He so reminded me of his dad.

My folks and his were friends so that’s how I got to know his family when we were kids. He had a great family.

My thoughts and prayers to his wife,daughter and all the family.

So sorry to hear about the passing of Larry. I grew up in the old part of Coralville in the 50s and early 60s, and lived a block up the street from the Ambrose Family. I played a lot of baseball in Little League and Babe Ruth with Donnie (Mouse) and Larry. ( Doug was younger) We played ALL the time. I was at the Ambrose house MANY times. Floyd always told baseball stories, and Mrs. Ambrose was the nicest "Mom' in town for all us young boys. The Ambrose kids were in the midst of all the 'action' in Coralville back then. Coralville School, Teen Center dances, the old Drive In Theater every summer night, sports, etc. I send my personal condolences to Larry's Family, including Donnie, Doug, and Anita. ……..Everytime drive up 8th Avenue, I always remember the Ambrose house.

Lynda and family sorry for your loss. I enjoyed working with Larry as a Reserve Deputy. He was always fun to talk to when we would see each other around. You will all be in my prayers. Keep all the good memories in your hearts forever because I sure will. God Bless!

Lynda and Lara & family, you have our deepest sympathy. Much love to you all.

I met Lynda & Larry in the mid 70's when I worked in the ICPD. Even though I moved away, we kept in touch. We always hooked up for a meal when I came to visit my mother. The last few years we got together in Florida, where I had a house. Larry was always willing & eager to do any little thing around my place. Because of that, I have constant reminders of him. I wasn't a total workaholic though, we did have some fun, too. (Thank you, Lynda for sharing him.) He loved to go out to eat & also bar-b-que. He was happy to go on any little adventure - boat ride, flea market, rocket launch. He tried not to let his disabilities slow him down. I will think of him, his kindness & joy of life when I look around my home. Rest easy, Larry, I know you are trying to help people where you are now. Peace to you & your family, Lynda, my friend. Love, Lee Ann

Larry and I were good friends during elementary and junior high. Rest In Peace Buddy.

My deepest sympathy to Larry's family. I grew up with Larry in Coralville. We were in the same grade. His mother Elva and my mother were best friends so we often saw each other before my family moved to Iowa City when I started 6th grade. Larry was always so kind. He came to my mother's funeral in 1988 and it was so appreciated. Love and prayers to his family.
