S3,E2: Living with Loss. The Story of Larry Avery
Episode 43
Sunday, 1 February, 2026
Who was Larry Avery? He was a humble, unassuming man who “walked the talk.” He served his county, his faith, his family, and his community on the east side of Toledo. I knew Larry, his wife, and his now adult children for my entire adult life. I miss Larry! Larry Avery died and left this realm on November 23, 2025, surrounded by his loving family. He was 75 years old. He is now in a beautiful place where he does not want to come back from. What is loss? Loss can be anything. The loss of health. A job that you really liked. Retirement. A break in. A break up. A divorce. A house fire. Certainly, the loss of a person you loved via death is a loss. However, loss can be anything! Grief and mourning are not the same thing! Listen to the podcast to hear how these two things are different and put into practice. Listen as host Tim Jordan interviews the bereft: Evelyn Sigler-Avery (Larry’s wife), Cathy Avery-Lorton (Larry’s sister), his best friend of over 60 years, Ken Chisholm, and two of three of his adult children, Nathan Avery, and Holly Avery-Rugg, as they teach us lessons about living with loss and who Larry Avery was.
