Many of you know him as Brother Larry. He was the pastor of Old Salem Baptist Church for 24 ½ years. He was also the owner of Barger and Turner Waterproofing. Some may know him for the hours he spent working with young people on the softball field. We know him as our father, husband, grandfather, and son. We know him as the person who not only proclaimed Christ from the pulpit, but lived the life wherever he went. He has always pointed people to Christ as the One who can handle everything. So as our hearts break, we will look to Christ and carry on the legacy.
Pallbearers will be Bobby Tubbs, Jason Turner, Jimmy Green, Bruce Smelley, Jason Wideman, Freddie Patterson, Chris Barnett, Steven Fondren, Jessie James, and Chad O'Bryant.
