I worked with Larry at Base Materials we would sing together on the job. It always made work fun. I can remember him mimicking the fire alarm at work and Doug Dobbs would come flying out of his office and he would threaten to write Larry up. I was blessed to have known and work with him.

Larry was a wonderful person. One of the nicest person I have ever known. His singing and his infectious smile was the highlight of my day when he would come to the credit union. This world has lost a wonderful man! May God console and guide you all through this difficult time.

So sad to see that Larry has passed. We go back to the early 70s. Work together at Base Materials ( Pitney Bowes) and went to many clubs to hear him sing. Truly a beautiful human that we will never forget. Tom (Bondo) and Willine (Willie) Boss

To the family of Brother Larry in his passing. I had the honor of knowing Larry from Faith Vision MBC now New Fellowship MBC. He was such a kind man that loved God. He was funny, loved to joke but more importantly he loved to sing. I know he is already singing in heaven, that he made it this far by the grace of God.
He will be missed by all those that had the pleasure of knowing him. My family and I have you all in our thoughts and prayers.
