Larry was one of the best men and friend i have ever had the pleasure to become friends with. We worked together, went fishing and hunting together. He was an honest caring man who was the best family man anybody could have asked for. He will be sadly missed but he is at peace amongst friends and relatives in the house of the Lord. RIP Larry until we meet again.
