I met Larry at the Bluemont Community Center where he was a counselor for the summer parks and recreation department. He impacted my life as a true Christian believer and many that attended that summer program. I then met his sister, Leslie Jo in middle school, and then Craig and the rest of the Poston family. I send my deepest sympathies to you all, but rejoice in knowing Larry is in the arms of our Lord and Savior.
