Condolences

    I only heard about this recently, my family and I had dinner with Larry on a vacation stop thru Pittsburgh. We worked together in a division of Walgreens and Larry's honesty and presence were truly a comfort during turbulent times. Whatever was going on, Larry was one of the few people who'd be forthcoming with information about corporate doings. I really appreciated that from him as well as a shared love of music. I didn't know his family, but knew how devoted he was to them and that he cared deeply about others, even those he didn't know very well. His family and loved ones should take comfort in the time he was with us, even though it should've have been longer, we're better off having had him in our lives. Condolences to the Bursick Family, Ira Spinrad

    My sympathy upon your loss of Larry. I attended Penguin hockey games with Larry when we were younger, and now I am a life long fan. I attended the University of Pittsburgh School of Pharmacy with Larry and will make a donation to the school in memory of Larry. Best regards, Ray Huck

    Dear Bursick Family~ I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved husband, father, brother and family man. While I worked with Larry briefly, I knew he had a heart of gold and wanted to 'do good' in this world as a URAC Pharmacy accreditor. I am thinking of your family during this time.

    My Dear Chris & Boys, I send my deepest sympathies to each of you at this sad time. When I saw it in the paper this morning, I immediately asked the Lord to comfort you & give you the assurance that Larry is with HIM & waiting to see our friend Bill. (They can talk over all the Pens games we all enjoyed together.) My prayer will continue to be that you, his boys & family, will be comforted at this time, as he will be missed by so many. Blessings to each of you, Judy McKee

    Larryâ??s team at URAC truly enjoyed working and becoming friends with him over the past year. We all learned a great deal from him and benefited from the experiences he had over his long pharmacy career. We enjoyed his sensibility and sense of humor. He will be deeply missed.
