The death of a loved one is one of the most devastating experiences one can face. May you find comfort from the loving memories you have of Larry and in God's promise..."And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore..."

Larry was a great guy. I recall the Columbus College days, and going to the old Club Havana in downtown Columbus. Those were days when everyone just wanted to have fun and enjoy the music. Larry got along with everybody, and had the gift of making all around him feel comfortable....Gary Johnson
