My heart goes out to all Larry's Family. I have been his
sister-n-law for 50 years and this last year has to have been the hardest any family could bear.
I can't fathom losing a child and a husband or a brother and a dad within 37 days apart.
I pray for all Larry's immediate family as well has his extended ones.
Love your Sister and your Aunt.
Prayers for the many lives this great man touched. May God hold and comfort you all in his loving arms. Always keep Larry's contagious smile in your memory so that he lives on through us all. God bless.

So sorry for your loss Larry was a blast and never did meet a stranger prayers for y’all
Sylvia, Ladeanna, Carrie and families, we were so sorry to hear of Larry’s passing. I have fond memories of Larry and think the world of him and his family! He was a good man who was very giving in all he did. I will always remember him sitting at the end of the gym floor watching the kids play. Whether they were yours, ours, or theirs, he was yelling for and supporting the Tigers. We will all miss him, but know that he is in a much better place. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you. May God comfort and bless you all! We love you!
Will miss hearing some big story about one of his grandkids killing deer/turkey or catching fish. Prayers for the family.
