I remember the first time I met Larry and his brothers. It was at a Holloween party they were giving at their house. My brother and I were new to the area at that time. His mother welcomed us in with open arms and we met some of his family then.I have never forgotten that. As an Alumni of Mongtomery Blair High School class on 70 I got to know Larry and his brothers through my late husband Michael Johnson. We use to all party together at many locations.Larry was quite, but had a great since of humor. He will be missed. To his brothers and sister and family, May God continue to comfort and heal you at this time of loss. We all have lots of memorys to help comfort us. He was a great person. God Bless.

Cash,
As your mother and your father's first wife, I hope you find comfort in knowing that I have always Loved your father. I am glad that you had the chance to say goodbye one last time. When your father told you "Ace I Love You" and you told him you Loved him, that was the eternal bond and priceless moment you both will have forever. I will continue to be there for you and help you while you attend school and with your business. Please know that "Cool Breeze" my first love will always be in my heart. I hope that as your father joins Sherree, Travis "Cash", your grandparents, and Gregory "Frog", they will all be happy together in the arms of God. With all my Love, your mother... Vickie

My fondest memory of Larry is when he used to ride his bicycle down Ritchie Avenue. He told me to get up on the handle bars. He rode me down to Parker Church, back up to Piney Branch Road, then back home. What a thrill of a ride! Whenever I saw him he'd let me hop on for a fast fun ride! Larry was a sweet kind cousin. Always fun to be with and to talk to. I'll truly miss him and how he always made me smile! God speed your wings to your beloved Sheree, parents and other family members waiting for you.
