Enitza, Thinking about you....please know you are loved!

You are not forgotten My Brother! Today is your Earthly Birthday!

You are so missed Brother...

So sorry that I did not know of Larry's passing until today when I visited the Rocket City Miata Club website. How sad to survive such dangerous endeavors in the military only to succumb to this terrible virus. The club members will miss him dearly. My thoughts are with his family.

Larry and I grew up together in Rockbridge . We hunted and roamed all over the area . I couldnt have asked for a better hunting companion or friend . My condolences to the entire Gillespie family . God bless you my friend .

I served with Larry in the Alabama National Guard... I will never forget his hilarious stories such as the AL NG call up during the gasoline shortage and the losing of his wife's Diamond at one of the malls in Huntsville... God bless his family. David Wright.

I am saddened to read of Larrys' passing.
I've know him through The Huntsville Police Department, he was one of those guys you instantly like. His wit and sense of humor always brought a smile to my face, even on those days when I did not feel like laughing.
I will miss him, but I also know that one day I will see him again.

What a great guy to have known. Always looked forward to talking with him at the gun shows. He will be missed by all of us.

I met Larry over 30 years ago through work(Huntsville Fire and Rescue). We hit it off from the very start. There was something about him everyone liked. Never heard a bad word said about him.
He was a true hero, patriot and a man in blue. He would help anyone, friend or stranger.
I loved him. You will be missed ole friend.

We send our thoughts and prayers to Enitza, sons, Brother Bill and family. We are...
