Larry was a one of a kind, the kindest and a dear Christian friend. He took to being the care taker of the Greenville Nazarene lawn & landscape, it was his desire to get back to doing what he loves most. Helping anyone in need. A few years ago he had pulled some shrubs at church and I had some to pull in front of my house. I ask if he
could pull mine, paying him was out of the question. When finished I said how about breakfast at Bob Evens, he was so delighted tellling the waitress of his treat that morning. Our time of sharing a meal meant more than money could pay him. More than once i would call on him for help, he was always there. We have a christian song that fits Larry.. May all who come behind us find us faithful. Larry was just that friend. Manya & Toney you did your best to meet his desires, but at times he had to accept help. Thank You kids, he had a strong will.
