I am sad Larry has passed at this young age. As it is within Gods time, I am happy for Larry that he finally has peace and is now reunited with my mother Barbara whom he loves and has missed on earth. I am ever so grateful to him for raising, loving and excepting my sisters( I was separated from growing up) as his own daughters and giving them a father. To me that made him a special man! Thankyou Larry and may you rest in peace til I see you again in our precious lords Heaven.
