Our deepest sympathy to Anna, Scott and the Dunavant family for your great loss. We had the honor and pleasure of knowing Larry through youth and high school soccer. He coached our son and was a great teacher of not only skills but good sportsmanship. We share your sorrow.

My deepest sympathy to Anna, Scott and family on Larry's passing. I knew Larry only a very short time but was blessed by the few occasions I was able to sit with him and talk about his memories of growing up in Memphis, his work as an architect, and his love for his family, especially his grandchildren. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you.
