Not sure what to say?

We miss you Larry. So many funny and fond memories we shared. And let's not forget the 4 fabulous horses you trained and raced for us: Black Diamond Girl, Bella Noire, WhyWhyPaulWhy (our handsome boy) and Tamara's Way. You brought us excitement and most of all your friendship. You are the best soul we have or will every meet. We love you. Paul and Tamara

We will miss our prayer warrior. You were one of a kind. Smile on friend.

I have known Larry for over 35 years. I have done his horse dentistry work all that time.A good horseman and friend! I will tell you he was one tough guy. Over the years you could see it in his face, when the cancer was getting after him. ( still at the barn working) It was a long fight!! Over the years I would have friends that were diagnosed with cancer and would be freaking out. Many times I would call Larry and ask if he would talk to console and educate them on what they were about...

Although I knew this day would come, I still don't have words to convey my feelings. Larry fought the toughest cancer battle that I have every known. Aside from Larry working for Daddy, Oscar Dishman, Jr. when he first moved here; Larry was my road dog. When I visited my parents in Miami, Florida--Larry and I would go night clubbing and partying. I didn't drink alcohol, but Daddy knew that Larry would protect me. I remember when I moved to Texas, I had a farewell party at my sister's...

Condolences to the family of L. Demeritte. Deepest sympathy to all family members. Met him once, and was so impressed by his religion, relationship with God. Rest in the arms of our heavenly Father. You will be missed from spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ . RIP. The Lowery family from WV.
