Larry had one of the largest hearts of anyone I've known. The few times he would make it back to Charleston he always stayed with me and it was always an experience. The first time I met him, I couldn't help but like him. You could always pick Larry out in a crowd, and that is what I loved about him. He never cared what others thought of him. He was a good friend and I'll truly miss him. My prayers are with you.

Dear Ms. Karen,
We are sorry to hear about the loss of Larry. It makes us very sad. Every time we went to see him and our Uncle Jon in Charleston, he had candy, coloring books, and crayons for us. He was very nice to us!!! We will pray for you and your family every night before we go to bed.

Sincerely,
Jordan and Payton ( Jon's Niece's)

Mrs. Fallin, I am so sorry for your loss. Larry or Lawrence of Arabia as I called him was one of a kind and truly a giving spirit. I had the privilege of working with Larry at the Highlands Country Club and enjoyed every minute. I know you will truly miss him, his smiling face and always trying to please everyone. Please know that you are in my prayers and know that Larry's job on here has been finished, but he has a better job now in Heaven with our Lord Jesus Christ.
Regretfully, Penny Farrer

Karen,
There are no words to express the loss that you and your family are feeling right now. Please remember that "There is a certain sweetness to sending a loved one on to be with the Lord, even thought the loss is incalculable." My prayers and thoughts are with you during this time of loss.

Karen,
I'm very sorry for your loss. Judging from the other entries in the guest book, Larry must have inherited your kind spirit and interest in humanity. I'm sorry I didn't have the opportunity to meet him. I hope that all of the warm, happy memories you have of him will carry you through what must be an unreal time for you.

I met Larry in Charleston, SC, while I was attending The Citadel. He moved in with my best friend's brother Jon Whisonant, where we all got to hang out and have many good times together. I am truly saddened by his untimely death. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Dear Karen ,

Larry touched so many people lives just by being Larry. He was such a sweet spirit and always cared about the wellbeing of others. I only meet him a handfull of times, but those times will always be cherished and remembered. You raised a precious son who had a great heart and BIG personality. My best memory of Larry will be he always said "yes Ma'am" to me. I told him I was only 4 years older than him, but that didn't matter, he always said it. That goes to show Larry was a great guy with respect for life. I will be praying for you and your family. I hope God's grace will carry you through these difficult times. If you need anything at all please call me at 803-326-9935.

Sincerely, Tiffany Vollman ( Jon's Sister)
