Uncle Larry left a wonderful memory and showed how one should live through example in all areas of his life. He always displayed a loving, christian spirit. I will miss him.

Larry was my uncle, and I loved him very much. It was always great to see Uncle Larry, and my late Aunt Dorothy,(cousins Bob, and Rich...also) when ever they would come to visit, or when we would go out to California. He was a good Christian Man, and it was'nt hard to tell!! He would praise The Lord, when he felt The Lord needed praising. Which was most of the time during his life!! I admire him for that. And, I always would enjoy his singing, he had a voice that The Lord wanted us to hear!! Larry was a great Husband, a great Father, a great Grand-Father, and a great Uncle!! Uncle Larry is a great Christian Man, and GOD knows what he's doing now!! I will miss you, Uncle Larry ...... Your nephew, Richard H. Stansbury, Jr.
