Sincere condolences to the family. When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure in your heart and it lives forever. May the wonderful treasures fill your hearts with love and bring you peace, Hosea 13:14.

Uncle Larry,
We will miss you so. You were always so much a kind soul to me and a role model to me to 'do your very best." Even peeking over your shoulder when I was very young as you worked on a number of cars in Grandma's driveway was fascinating. Also, your service to our country goes unknown, but it's why we enjoy the liberties that we have in the USA.
Tell my Dad 'hello' for me.
Love,
Harvey Clyde Nix III
