Grandpa,
I will always remember the great time we shared when Dyon and I visited you in AK, that was our first trip we took alone (with out any supervision) and I know we both will never forget it. Thank you for taking us ice skating for our first time. I wish we had visited you more often.
You will be missed, lots of love - Britt

Grandpa Larry,
I will always remember you as the grandpa who I shared pageants with, who I flew to see(Brittanie and I flew to Arkansas all by ourselves for the first time to see you), and who was very generous. We will all miss you, and we all love you.
Love your granddaughter,
Dyon

Rest in Peace my Brother. I couldn't have found a better partner. You were the best my friend. We shared a lot of crazy moments, and were able to laugh about them (after they were over). Wouldn't have traded you for anyone. Love you Larry D.
