I will always remember Uncle Larry as such a kind and gentle spirit and his devotion to Aunt Leona and his family. He was a wonderful Godfather to me. I recall a humorous trip with Uncle Larry driving in the car with him and Aunt Leona I think when we were in Houston for the reunion in the 90's. I can't recall exactly what it was about except that I was laughing so hard later with Aunt Leona and Aunt Connie....I remember him of course for the other reunions when he was able to come. Thanks Uncle Larry for your beautiful smile and your love to all of us....

RIP Uncle Larry. Always have found memories of traveling to Kansas City to stay and visit with the cousins. Uncle Larry and Aunt Lee were always so kind and thoughtful towards all of us. Give Aunt Lee a hug and kiss from us.
