So sorry to hear of Larry passing. I have great memories of growing up at St.Paul's with him. He and my brother David were the same age
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all!

What a special loving man Larry was. Full of compassion for everyone. I will forever be thankful to him and Paula for helping me bring my son home when he died. My prayers are with Paula, Warren and his beautiful grandkids. Rest in peace.

The Final Salute

Brothers in Arms, Military men and women down through the centuries, have traditionally exchanged Hand Salutes as a sign of recognition and as a way to render courtesy and respect one to another.

This Hand Salute is the last that we shall render to Larry Albert Hovis our Brother-in-Arms. To his family it symbolizes the love and respect that we have for Larry. And to Larry it is rendered as a symbol of honor and gratitude to thank him for the devoted and selfless service he rendered to his country during the Vietnam War while serving in the U.S. Air Force. Larry, we commend you for your honorable service. You are a true patriot, who served with honor and distinction. You upheld the finest qualities of an American patriot warrior: courage, commitment, generosity, sacrifice, love and devotion to family and country. You were a true friend. We bid you a sad farewell. You will be dearly missed from among our ranks. Be at Ease. Rest in Peace.

On behalf of the 1,061 military veteran Legionnaires of Lowe-McFarlane Post 14 of the American Legion and the 233 veterans of VFW Post 2238 in Shreveport, Louisiana, we extend our sympathies and our condolences to Larry's family and loved ones.
