Larry was my closest cousin…like my little brother. I loved him immensely and he loved Jesus. Every time we talked we had conversations about Jesus. He did lots of work for me from dozier work, plumbing and mechanics. There wasn’t much he could not do. His Dad, my uncle Hinton taught him well. I thank God I did get to visit with him a few months back in person at my home. I’m sorry cuz I didn’t get to make to your services. I just heard the news today. Jenny and Corey and family, please know we are praying for you all.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I grew up with Larry, and loved him like a brother. Our mother’s were sisters, and although we didn’t see each other often in the last few years, we did talk on the phone many times. Larry was truly a kind, caring, sweet spirit who was always easy to be around, and he will no doubt be greatly missed. Thanks for letting me know of his passing, Corey. You and Jenny will be in my prayers.
