My prayers go out to the Mackey family. I went to high school with Larkin and was saddened to hear of his passing. God grant you comfort, peace and strength in the days ahead as you look to Him to fill the void created by Larkin's passing.

I went to school with Larkin 5yrs and I can tell you for those years we were good friends. He was aways a nice young man. About 15 yrs ago I got to meet all of you out at dinner one night. I was so happy to see he had such a large family. I'm so sorry for your loss but Heaven gained a "Wonderful Soul"

Larkin and his Dad were great golfers. It was a privilege to know them both at the former Valle Grande Golf Course. The Mackey Family have my deepest sympathy. Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal.
