1 year today. I miss you, Pops
Lit a candle in memory of Latham Loomis Brundred Jr.
It's hard to try and decide what to write about you, Pops – there are so many memories and stories I have. You are an inspiration to me. I was always amazed by you, and you were always interested, engaging and fun to be with. The times ahead will be hard, but in the back of my mind I know that you will always be with us in spirit. I can only thank you for what a profound and lasting impact you had on so many people, including me. I will miss you always. Christopher
Dear Brundred family, We were terribly saddened to hear of Larry's passing. He was such a wonderfully sweet, funny man. We enjoyed so much visiting with he and "Mimi" on their visits to Marion. Our thoughts and prayers are with you as we remember "Pops" with warmth and smiles.Love, Sue, Stan, Ryan and Geoffrey
Uncle Larry was an amazing man. I knew he was an accomplished man but was not quite aware of how accomplished he actually was. He was an inspiration to me in many ways and he will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Brundred Family and I am truly sorry for your loss. Loving Memories, Forrest Lee.
Larry will be missed by everyone he's known! I met Larry when I began to take care of he and Natalie's home along with two beloved german shepherds, Baron first, then Zoe. I looked forward to collecting their mail while they traveled because I knew we would have lovely conversations when they returned. Larry was a gentleman and a kind soul. His mind was sharp, and his interests many. He treated everyone with respect and dignity. My favorite image of him will be sitting in his chair cracking nuts. His face all smiles when I peeked in to say hi. I will miss our visits greatly! Natalie, I love you. You are in the Blankenships' thoughts and prayers. Larry was blessed to have you as his wife. He adored you.
Sending love from Charlottesville, Virginia, where Larry's sister Bunny has made a home all these years, and where we always welcomed a visit from dear Uncle Larry. He always brought a plane, his lovely bride, and lots and lots of light.
I loved Uncle Larry all my life and always enjoyed visiting him & his family. After in graduated from high school in 1969, Uncle Larry flew me & Grandmother from Kansas to Bethesda,MD so I could spend time with my Aunt Natalie & my 3 cousins. Many years later, I took at trip to Tulsa from HI and Aunt Natalie picked me up & while at their house, Uncle Larry pulled up in a big old restored convertible while sporting a nice red bandana headband! Uncle Larry was always kind and extremely pleasant with me. Aloha Uncle and God rest your soul, Connie
My dearest darling Pops,I will never forget all the things that made you such an amazing person. You always extended such a warmth and kindness to every one you met. I can only put into so many words how special you are to the whole of our family. I know that you are in a better place now but these qualities that you passed to my mother and aunties will continue to live on through them and your grandchildren, thorough your great grandchildren and forever after that. Times ahead will be tough but I know that you will watch over us all, especially Mimi who need the comfort to know you are well and happy. There are some things about you that I will never forget – the way that when we blew a kiss at you, you would kiss the end of you fingers shaped like a gun and fire one straight back! Or the way you signed all your your cards to us, signing the 'P' of your name with a smiley face and a bow tie. I even remember when we lived in our first house in Gerrards Cross, you put me on you shoulders and carried me up the hill towards the high street and I can remember thinking, "Wow, Pops sure is strong for an old guy!" But my favourite memory of you has to be when you asked me to help you with you costume for Mum and Dad's 20th wedding anniversary party. The theme was for you to go dressed as your favourite American person. You asked me to print up a name tag that said "My favourite American is Anne's mother, Natalie Brundred. We have been married for 53 years." This story, to me, sums up exactly the kind of person that you are – kind, loving, caring and beautiful. A man with a good heart and a good soul. We are all so lucky to have known you. We will never ever forget you. Pops, I love you more that I can put into words but you will always stay close to me in my memory and in my heart. I love you always.
I first met Larry when he was flying for Angel Flight of Oklahoma and I was the ground coordinator in the mid 90's. Angel flight pilots, like Larry, would furnish their time, plane and gas to fly patients to hospitals throughout the USA at no cost to the families. Larry would seldom decline a flight and was extremely helpful to the organization. This is the kinda of a guy Larry was, and he will be missed by all who knew him. Thanks again Larry………. Don Neville
