I met Bro. Larry while working as a waitress at the famous Cozy Spot Restaurant. He was a regular customer. Holding meetings for ONE CHANE and many other Community, Chartiable and Civic Organizations. He was a great asset to Hartford especially the Northend of Hartford. His presence will truly be missed. He had a heart like God and a smile that shown bright as the shining Sun! I am greatly blessed even the more for knowing Bro. Larry. My late husband, The Rev. Michael Augustine who was born in New Orleans, Louisiana; he and Bro. Larry had so much in common and it did Bro. Larry's soul well when the two of them saw each other. Bro. Larry was a True Soldier in advocating for the poor and disadvantage. He was Hartford's balm in Gilead.
I extend the blessing of comfort, love and peace to Bro. Larry's entire family. God is blessing you right now, real good!!!
