Alan Kuoppala says
About 40 years ago it was my good fortune to start working with Larry, and we became good friends. When Larry and Loy married, Larry’s life was complete. They were always together taking trips in their Hotrod, Corvette, or riding their Harleys. Larry had truly found someone to share his life with. When Loy was stricken with this terrible illness, Larry remained steadfast by her side. I hope that Larry can find peace in knowing that Loy’s suffering is over, and comfort in the good times they shared.

Loy and her sister Loyce were varsity cheerleaders at Cut Bank High School. They were full of energy, with a cherry personality. Heaven gained a special angel. Rest in peace.

I am so very sad to know that our cousin Loy Marie is no longer on this earth. She died the same exact day that my sister Rae Evelyn Hack Haynes died. Perhaps they are holding hands and chatting with Loy’s mother, Vera, who was a first cousin to Rae and myself. Best regards to all the family: Larry who we have enjoyed getting to know over the years, Loyce who has kept in touch with us, and Loy’s children who we have not seen for a very long time. Loy was very special and I will miss her.
