Larry Gist

Daddy was the most kind man I've ever know. One of my most favorite memories was, after mom's passing it was very cold outside. My sister and I wanted to swim. My sweet dad found a swimming pool put down a big rug so we would not slip then
put the pool in the garage. We had such a great time. And so did daddy. He always loved seeing Amanda and I having a good time.
He would have that contagious smile and laugh, we all know and loved about him.

Larry has been like a brother to me for almost 58 years. He is the person I have know the longest in my life that wasn't a blood relative. He and my sister Sandra had a wonderful life and family together until her passing. He was fortunate to have met and married Norma and they had 38 years together with their blended family. All of my life he has been a wonderful example of God's love. Always patient, always kind, and always a faithful servant of the Lord. I have 100s of stories I could tell but most of all I just want to say my life has been so blessed to have had his gentle strength and steady support in every situation imaginable. He will surely be missed but what glory he must feel now in heaven!

Love and hugs to all of his family and friends from myself and my family as well.
