Larry greeted me with open arms when I walked into work that first day, nearly 28 years ago, and he was always a good friend to me. Although I haven't kept in touch since I moved away in 1997, my memories of him have never faded. Larry always had the best stories to tell on Monday mornings after being away from his State Farm family over the weekends . You will be greatly missed by all of the old gang at State Farm!!!! Rest in Peace my friend.

One of the kindest gentleman we've ever had the pleasure of knowing. We didn't live in Houma more than a few years, but Larry treated us as long time friends. May he rest in peace.
