So sorry for your loss. Larry was always such a character. I don't think there was a time when he couldn't bring a smile. Keeping your family in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Roger and I went to the fair and had our pics taken.

Joan and family: my sympathies are with you. Larry and his brothers and my sisters and I played together as kids. Alvin Eugene and Lynn, watching our fathers together as best friends, I will always remember the laughter and companionship we shared.

Having known the charm and wit of Larry and his ornery and ready smile is a memory that I hold in my heart.

Please accept my love for you all, and knowing that Larry is waiting for us in heaven. Oh my.
