Joanne and family, You are in my prayers and thoughts. I have known Larry for as long as I can remember. We grew up together in the Buckton UMC. I will always remember Larry as a gentle and kind person who always had time to visit with all, be they a friend or stranger. I remember when we started the Christian Community Men's Group and Larry was one of our founding members.
Joanne may you take comfort in knowing that Larry has now found that peace in the Lord that surpasses all understanding.

Mrs. Wagstaff and family, I was so very sorry to hear of your sudden loss. I knew Larry in school and my memories were of him being in FFA... a big guy that seemed quiet. Seeing his picture, I see he hadn't changed much other than the color of his hair. Sounds like he followed his dream to be a farmer, an honorable man, husband and father. May your memories help you through this tragic time. Prayers are with you. Dee Osier (class of 1966 at SLC)

It is very difficult to pinpoint any specific memory of Larry. All of them blend together into a picture of a very dear man that loved to tell stories, write poetry, recall family memories...and he could keep you spellbound with his "presence". He was such a valued part of the "Moulton" family and will sorely missed. Knowing he is now rejoicing with Jesus makes acceptance more bearable, but his absence will leave a void felt by many for a looonngg time to come. May God wrap you all in His Arms and keep you close to Him and comfort and keep you through this season of grief. We love you and will continue to pray for you all.

I will never forget all the memories I have knowing Larry (Hoss) as I was growing up. Every Sunday, at Church, you would always be greeted with a big smile and if lucy enough a story followed by lots of laughter! We will all miss Larry and I want to send all my love and prayers to Joanne, the girls and all his wonderful family. Feel comfort knowing that he's probably got everyone in Heaven laughing now at one of his many stories. God Bless.

Jerrie Anne & Family,
I am so sorry to hear of your fathers passing, It's the little things, the small, everyday occurrences that you'll remember. The laughs, the stories, the smiles. And even though it seems like you can never recover from your loss, it is these very memories that will help push the pain away and bring back the smiles. Take care of each other and love to you all.

Larry was known to many of us as Hoss since he was a big man like Dan Blocker who played the character Hoss in the T.V. show Bonanza. Like the character on T.V, Larry was a kind person with a big heart. I worked for his father as a kid helping with haying and could not throw the big bales very high so Larry did the big ones for me. I was not old enough to drive so Larry would pick me up on his motor bike or the car. Riding behind him on that little bike was an experience I will never forget. Larry once took me on his milk route and we had lunch before unloading in Ogdensburg. It was a nice day and I remember how Larry could gab with everyone he came in contact with. As a fellow member of the Buckton Church growing up, I have fond memories of Larry including his enjoymnent of singing hymns. He was taken away from us abruptly with no time to prepare for the loss. My condolences to family and friends.

To the family of Lawrence Wagstaff. My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time. I had the pleasure of not only growing up down the road from the family and going to school with some of the girls. In fact I think we all went to school with each other and had the opportunity to see Larry, Joanne and the girls coming into the store. I even got to chat with Larry in the Town office not to long ago! At times like this there is nothing that anyone can say that can take your pain away but know that my family is thinking of yours at this time and if you need anything, please feel to let me know! (((hugs)))
