I just learned today of Larry´s passing from a former co-worker. This was very sad news. I worked with Larry at the City of Atlanta. He was respected and liked by his co-workers. RIP my co-worker and friend.

I have known Larry and the DeShazor family since childhood. We attended John Hope Elementary School and later Henry McNeal Turner High. His brother Robert (deceased) and I attended our 7th grade Prom together (along with my daddy ). My "bonus" dad was Director of Housing Code for the City of Atlanta until retirement and Larry worked with him. I have good memories and history with this wonderful family. Larry was a kindered spirit, had a heart of gold and was just an all around AWESOME human being! Debra and family I am truly saddened to hear of the passing of my friend. Please know that the family are in my prayers .
Much Love
Beverly
