I am saddened to hear of Larry's passing. He was a kind,good-hearted and fun-loving friend. He helped make my senior year at Lueders-Avoca one of the best years of my life. He will be missed by many. My deepest sympathies go to his family.

I was shocked when i recieved an email from someone who knew Larwayne. Actually, the email was of an email that my freind, Larwayne had sent me earlier in the week. Above the letter was a message that said "we will miss him dearly". This person was nice enough to respond to my email and let me know that Larwayne had indeed passed away. It sadden my heart to get this news. Larwayne and I go back three years, communicating through emails and yahoo messenger. The first year we would stay up late into the morning hours talking about everything and anything. He always spoke so fondly of his ranch and the lake, his "Golden Girls" and his dear Frassy. He did touch my heart and i felt like he was an angel that was there to help me and hear me out. We had some good laughs!!! My heart goes out to his family and i just want to let you know that i feel real proud of having the honor of having Larwayne in my life, even if i never got to meet him personally.I will truely miss this great man!!!

Dear Family, I was so sorry to hear of your lost. I understand your pain as it is so difficult and my heart hurts for you as you go through the next days, months, and years. My prayers are with you. I am sorry, that I will not be able to be there as Daddy is sick and in the hospital. He sends his love and says he remembers Larry coming to the house and was always grinning and happy. He spread his joy. We will remember the good times as the song Precious Memories will take on a new meaning. I love you all, prayers Kaye

I am in shock from the news. But, know that Larry is with the Lord and reunited with his Dad now and in no more pain. Larry was one of my best friends in High School at Avoca. I love him dearly and was so glad I was able to visit with him in person at Avoca's homecoming a little over a year ago. My prayers are with you his family now. Keep his wonderful memories alive with you always. Sincerely, Linda (Stice)

I am greatly saddened to hear of Larry's death. He was such a wonderful person. A true friend and inspiration to all. I am privileged for having the opportunity to become reacquainted with him through the LA homecoming activities. I'll certainly miss receiving his e-mail and sending e-mail to him. Larry was loved by all, me included. I will carry the memory of my dear friend Larry in my heart forever. Jimmie
