You will be greatly missed and always remembered in my heart as a man among men in a world where you stood out as a role model in many many ways. A gentle giant with a heart of gold.

Mr. Larry Blanchard you were one of a kind and will be greatly missed. I don't quite remember the year I met you, tho it was many years ago when my then husband worked with you at a job site in Decatur Alabama. You made quite an impression on him and myself, you seemed a giant at 1st but as I grew to know the man inside, you truly were a giant, a gentle giant of whom I grew to cherish with the utmost respect. You, my friend were a man among men whom I never saw falter, a kind, caring being who cherished his wife and family with an unpresidented love. You were a great cook, in fact you were the only person ever to convince me to eat gumbo, New Orleans style, and it was delicious. You were one of a kind, like a giant teddy bear and will always be remembered as a giant among men, one to be respected in a world where you stood out as a man among men, a leader in many ways, not only on the job but in every day life as well. The world lost a wonderful human being.
