I am a teacher in the Bryant School District. I knew Mr. Larry from working with him several years at Bryant Elementary. He was always there to lend us teachers a helping hand, anything from fixing desks and chairs to catching mice. More importantly, he was an awesome man. Mr. Larry always knew how to make me smile and laugh, and on stressful days that always meant the world to me. I enjoyed hearing stories about his grandchildren. Just a few weeks ago, he came to Hill Farm and we were all so happy to see him. Bryant School District won't be the same without him. He will be greatly missed! Lots of love to his family and friends.
