I worked with Larry for many years. He was always a kind, smart and helpful friend. He was a quiet man but with lots of love and kindness in his heart. When Larry died this world lost a very special person and is greatly missed by his friends and colleagues!

My deepest sympathy to the family of Larry Singleton. He was a colleague and dear friend of mine at TCC. We taught together for many years and I still remember the conversations we had between classes. Most were about family and how important his family was to him. Larry was a kind man and will be missed by many at TCC. May your special memories of him stay in your hearts forever. May God be with you and give you peace.
