Not sure what to say?

So sorry to hear about Larry. God Bless.

Larry had the biggest influence in Rebecca’s and my life and success. Larry as a good friend and mentor always had a positive answer. Larry would say, turn the funnel around to see the big picture. You will be missed but not forgotten. Thank you Larry.

Larry was a wonderful man. Very generous and kind. He will be greatly missed. Tom and Margaret Ratliff

Thx Larry for sharing your favorite crappie spot !!

Larry loved to fish, golf, swap a good story, and enjoy a happy hour on the driveway at the lake. He was always ready with a laugh and usually willing to share a favorite fishing spot at least once he trusted you! We’ll miss the laughs and the great times. RIP Larry

Larry (Mr Barnes) set my career in motion and taught me how to treat others and how to succeed in the industry. His influence and friendship set me on a path from what I thought was a temporary job to being a lifetime passion and purpose.

Larry is a long time friend whom I met back in 1996 during my 2nd day joining the ready mix industry. I remember clearly his humor and genuine care for others. Larry is a legend in this industry and a true friend that we will all miss.

I had the privilege of working with Larry and always appreciated his easy-going nature and willingness to share his knowledge. He was someone I truly looked up to.

Larry, I will miss you a lot

Hit them long and straight in heaven
