We have lots of memories that we have shared over the years. Allen and I always loved spending time together with you, Gradye, and the family. Trips to deer camp, the lake and Lamar were the best times ever. Losing both you and Andrea have left a big hole in several friends and family's hearts. I know where Andrea got her kindness and good heart from. Miss and love you, until we meet again.

My Great Grandfather was an amazing man and he always knew what to do, I could talk to him about anything. He could swim like no other and as strong as an ox. I wish I could have had more time with him. I know he is up in heaven enjoying fishing and watching over us❤️

Gradye, I was so sorry to hear about your tragic loss of Larry and your daughter. I always thought Larry's work ethic and drive toward success was rooted in his love for you and the girls. A gregarious and adventurous guy that loved his family and was loyal to his friends and the company he worked for. Grace and peace be with you and your family.

Larry and I worked together at AFCO Metals for many years. I counted him as a friend. Larry impressed me with his work ethic and his attention to detail. His quick wit, a joke and a hearty laugh was always present. In time Larry pushed me to leave my position in the Accounting group and take an opening with the Sales department. I told him no and that that was not for me. He kept pushing me and I finally relented. Work wise it was the best thing that could have happened to me. I owe much to Larry for his persistence.
This tragedy hurts so many people. My heart goes out to his wife Gradye and all of his family.
Rest in Peace my friend.

I first met Larry when he became the Manager of Afco/Ryerson in West Memphis, Ark. He always handled our account, even though he was the Manager and didn't have too. They had several
Mangers before him and they didn't last very long. I asked him, so how long are you going to stay He said to me, I started here in 1966 and I have worked my way up to this job and I not going to Quit. Now they may Fire Me, But I give you my word.... I'm not going to Quit.
He was a Man of his word and will missed by all the new him.

Larry was a very kind gentleman, I am so sad to hear of his passing. He always had a smile on his face when he would come to the shop. I always felt larry was the type of guy that would give his shirt off his back if some one needed it. Prayers for the family and friends of Larry and Allison. God bless you all.

Larry was my first boss at Afco Metals in Little Rock after I graduated college in 1987. He started at the bottom and worked his way up via hard work and an extraordinary amount of not-so-common sense. It was a privilege to work for and around him. Our thoughts and prayers are and will be with his family.
