Larry was good man and exceptional in so many ways. He was also my older brother and could not have been any better. He was a great blessing to me in so many ways always pointing the way wisely and giving me thoughtful advice. He was a fighter but toward the end he was so ready for his pain and uncomfortable circumstances in his life to be over. He had confidence in his future based on his faith and assurance in Jesus Christ. As many Christians do he saw himself as shared in scripture as a lonely wayfaring stranger in a foreign land. God granted his wish in my view and called Larry to his eternal home. I feel that Larry is happy and in a very good place waiting for us as fellow believers to join him. Despite knowing this Larry will be greatly missed for many reasons including his great love for family. Many of us left behind loved him very deeply and we will miss him the most and forever till that glorious reunion in our future. May God richly bless Nettie, his devoted wife, Lynn,Doug, Jason his children as well as the rest of his immediate family.
