Thomas (Larry) Sheridan passed away in the early morning of June 2, 2016 at the age of 84 in London, Ohio. Larry attended St. John's grade school, South High School, and the Ohio State University. He served in the United States Air Force during the Korean War on a B29 as a Radio ECM Operator. He was involved for fifteen years with Cursillo and worked with the old COSI in downtown Columbus. Those who left ahead of Larry were his dear wife of 53 years, Sally (Lane) Sheridan, daughter Linda Coakley, his son Thomas, and son-in-law Jack Leistikow. He loved and missed them all very much. He leaves behind his daughter Cathy; grandchildren, Denver, Scot, and Annie Leistikow, and Tricia, Tiffany, and Thomas Coakley, Abbey (Dustin) Ryan; seven great-grandchildren, Jacob, Joshua, Jayden, Olivia, Bryson, Harvey, and Lola. He loved all of them and was very proud of each and every one. His legacy to those left behind is the following: "The greatest gift I have I give to you; Prayer, trust God, and never use the word TRY. You either will or you will not, and never, never give up. Some good things were accomplished through me and I thank God for using me to accomplish them." He asked that we take care of each other as we took care of him and wanted to pass along his love for all of the people who meant so much to him.
