Mr. Penrod was one of my favorite teachers in school! My thoughts and prayers go out to your family. May God give you peace and comfort.

Mr. Penrod was a funny, kind, giving teacher who I admired. He gave much more than education to the students! My prayers go out to his family!

Love the Riddle Family

Mr. Penrod was most assuredly one of my favorite teachers in elementary. The students at Amanda-Clearcreek were truly blessed to have this man. My prayers go out to his family and close friends. May God's peace be with each of you!

Deepest sympathies and prayers to the Penrod family. What a wonderful man and what lasting impact he was able to have on so many lives! I pray God will bring you much peace and comfort in the days ahead.

My deepest sympathies to Mr Penrod's family. He was a wonderful teacher...one that my brother, Craig and I still talk about as being one of our favorites.

Rowena, I have been thinking of you all week and felt bad I couldn't make it to the funeral home. You and Larry were so dear to me on the mail route out on Bunker Hill Rd., and I will never forget your charm and helpfulness. Larry was a wonderful man, and I know he has left a deep void in your heart.
Thinking of you, with sympathy and love, Cindy Royse, Rt. 1 Mail carrier

The Penrod and Burkybile family friendship began in Casey, IL in the 50's and what a special friendship it has been through the years. Thanks for the memories. Sending our prayers to you in this time of sorrow.

My deepest sympathies to Rowena and all of your family. I taught at AC for 25 years at the Stoutsville building. I remember Larry as a wondeerful teacher. God bless you all.

I first met Larry in 1974. Three other teachers and I were hired for the 5th and 6th grade positions that year. Larry was the one that everyone went to for help and advice that year and in the years that followed. He was always there for us. I know I would never have survived that first year without his help and friendship. Whether he knew it or not I tried to emulate him in my teaching. He was the confident, wise down-to-earth teacher that I wanted to be. He and his wife, Rowena took me and many others under their wing. I know many students that Larry taught will mourn his passing. His fairness and common sense approach coupled with his smile and warm sense of humor made working with him a joy.

I first met Larry when I began teaching at Amanda- Clearcreek in 1984. As his across the hall "neighbor", I had the pleasure of watching him impact the lives of many students. To this day, I can still picture him teaching a group of students with a genuine smile on his face. He was always willing to answer my questions and provide help when I needed it. To his family and loved ones, may your memories of shared moments sustain you for time to come.

What a wonderful colleague to work with, great person, sadly missed.My prayers to friend Rena from all the Tilleys.

Great teacher my 5 year of school.
Will never forget that year.
My prayers are with your family
