Andrea,
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to re-connect with Larry after 30 years and to get to know you. He was such a dear, dear friend at A&M and entirely responsible for pulling me through that computer science class so that I could graduate. Don't know what I would have done without him. The Round Table Coffee Crew was a very important part of my A&M experience. Feel very fortunate that we were able to celebrate important times like Aggie Muster and 4th of July since we have been able to re-connect. I look forward to nurturing and growing our friendship. My love and prayers go out to you - today and always. Suzanne

Andrea: It breaks our hearts we can't be there to give you a hug in person at this time. Larry was such a big part of all our lives for so long, we can't imagine life without him; we know you can't either! We love you greatly! The kids gained so much from "Uncle Larry," and could not have had a better Godfather in the world! He not only looked after the kids, he looked after everyone.... all the time! The world will miss him! A good, loving, decent, family man.... Larry Don Hall. But we WILL see you soon for those hugs! Much love, JJ, Amber, Robert, Sean, and Alexandra

Andrea,
Although you and I have only met once and that was years ago, Larry was a close friend from our Marine Corps days. He was a fellow Marine, and in the truest sense a brother. He will be missed and remembered. Our prayers are with you and extended friends and family. Semper Fi

Andrea, you and Larry are in our prayers. We've just lost a good neighbor and realtor. We've also lost a great volunteer for the American Red Cross. I remember Larry being a shelter manager during Hurricane Rita for the American Red Cross and other Hurricane evacuations. I had just visited with Larry the week before when he stopped by the GNW HOA office to pick up a packet for a property you guys had sold in Silver Creek subdivision. I'm shocked and saddened by this event.
