John Larson was an awesome man of integrity and always looked for ways to help others, especially the less fortunate or those that were dealt a bad hand. He truly was a blessing in my life. I think about the great things he would say often and how he supported mm and the Next Door Organization. I am very thankful that God allowed John to be apart of my life, demonstrating, teaching and showing visually what a true mentor and role model is. I am saddened by the loss but I rejoice in...
