Larry I am going to miss you so much. You have always been a brother to me. I will miss all of us singing together and sitting around talking about the good times. To me you were the best drummer in the world. I will never forget your smile and your laughter. I know that God welcomed you with open arms and gave you a special place in his musical band with all of the angels as your back up singers. Thank you for always being there for me.I Love you. Till we meet again. Your Sis. Kelly

Please know that my prayers are with you all. You only had Uncle Larry for a short time, but he sure made everyone's lives more enjoyable during that time. He was a very special person to a lot of my dear friends and family and I pray that God will help heal their grief. My love to you all.
