How well I remember Larry years ago when I was a kid and he worked with his Dad.
Tall and black headed with a smile all the time.
Years later, after i had moved to Newton,N.C. I saw Larry again as he was visiting his Dad and Step-Mom. Strangely enough, after all those years, Larry's Dad had re-married and lived right accross the street from me in Newton.
Larry, was as his Dad. HIS WORD WAS HIS BOND.
Not many like that anymore.
My prayers to the family and know Larry was a fine man.
