I was thinking of Larry just yesterday, a sweet friend throughout our childhood in church and school. That welcoming smile. May he relish the peace and joy that awaits his gentle soul.
My deepest sympathies and prayers to Ray, Dee, Laura, Betty, and the rest of the family.
Larry was always a joy and always had a smile on his face. I was a classmate of Larry’s, we road the bus together, most of the time he wanted to sit by me on the home. I’m so sorry to hear of his passing.
