To Mary and family,
My heart is so heavy in hearing of Larry's passing. We've been friends for many years, since days on Rhode Island Street, and whenever I would see him, we always greeted each other like no days had ever passed. I know God has given him restful sleep in His arms of love, and blessed him for the man and person he always was. Larry was well loved and respected. May you and family be given peace and endurance in the days ahead, knowing he's alright. My love always.....

Larry fell to sleep on Tuesday, September 21, 2021 and woke up in Heaven. That was the Journey Home. There 's a path that leads to a turn in the road, and we each must travel there, Where the father waits to take us home to the shelter of His care. Larry you were always looking up to me as your big brother and you never knew I was looking up to you for the man you had become. I will love you forever and my heart is broken right now but I know God will restore it. Apart of me is gone.
