youll be missed at the 42 table, my prayers are with the family

I never met Larry, but I knew him as Stranger on 42-online. Always enjoyed playing with him. I read the Lufkin Daily News obits daily, as I'm originally from the area, I read his and didn't realize it was someone I'd met at the tables so many times.

My prayers are with your family.

May you win all your 42 games in heaven, my friend

I'd play 42 with you any where...

Please know your family will be kept in our prayers. I did not know him personally, but, as many that have expressed condolences, I knew him from playing 42 online. He was a very sweet man and he will be missed. gaynel_2000

My sincere condolences go out to Larry (Stranger)'s family. I never met Stranger personally, but he was no stranger on 42-online. He will be sadly missed. Your family is in our prayers to help you with your great loss.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family. I have played often with him on 42 and will miss him. God Bless you in the days to come.

My prayers to Stranger's family. We played 42 many times and he will be missed. His concerns were always for his grandson and not for himself. God bless you all.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family. I played with him on 42-online. He will be missed.

I am so sorry to learn of Stranger's passing. I did not know him personally but had played several games with him. Prayers go out to his family.

There are things that you wish you could or would have said to someone and at times like this you realize how you missed many, many opportunities. I met Larry and Karen about four years ago. I was the stray from Tennessee who showed up on their doorstep unannounced many, many times when I visited Lufkin and was allowed to become a part of the family. Larry reminded me of the quiet Texan you would see in the movies. He did not say alot, but when he did you listened. The man had a lot of wisdom earned by experiencing many things during his life time. These experiences made Larry the man that I will remember. I have fond memories watching Larry play with his Grandchildren. They had him wrapped around their fingers. Larry would not admit it (his being wrapped around their fingers)when I would mention that to him, but he loved the Grandfather role and would do anything for the Grand children. Something I will always cherish is spending time with Larry sitting on the front porch of the apartment. Many a morning or evening after I moved to Lufkin we would sit out there. Larry would ask if I wanted a Mountain Dew (I probably owed him a truck load, but he would always say forget it when I offered to pay him and Karen back) and we would talk about specific topics or about nothing really important. It was a chance to talk with a great friend...I wish I had had another opportunity to sit out there with Larry and just watch the world go by. I am sad that Larry has moved on and I wish that I could be there to say good-bye, but I know that the physical problems are not bothering him now and that he will be keeping an eye on Karen and the family. Knowing Larry he is probably setting up his new computer in heaven right now and looking for players to start a league.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss..I am a 42 on-line player and have played a few games with stranger, will miss him very much..my prayers go out to you and the family..I know it is hard as I have been there..May
God bless you all in this time of sorrow...Janex600

I met Larry only once, at a 42 tournament in Seagoville, TX. Online and in person he was a very kind and caring person, as well as a great 42 player. I send my sympathy to his family.

Karen I am so sorry. Stranger was a good friend. We enjoyed many hours of playing together. I will be forever grateful to him for teaching me 42. My prayers are with you and your family.

I am so sorry to hear of Larry's passing. I am a 42 on-line friend of his. He was a great 42 player and will be missed dearly. My prayers are with the family during this time. Sandy
