Laronda: I am in shock to learn of Larry's death. I am very sad as I write to you in tears. You will be fine and I pray you know God is with you in these sad times. You will smile again and relive wonderful memories. I hope Tim and Larry are talking to one another as they were such good friends.

I didn't know Larry for that long. I am a neighbour and we were out mowing and he come over and we visited. He is one of the nicest neighbor that I visited with since we moved out here. We visited for over 30 minutes. He was one of the nicest person. Life is short and live life too the fullest. Reat in Peace Larry!!!!
