I remember Larry as being someone special. He was one who started out building a temple through wood work. One thing I can say about Larry, he was sending up his timber everyday. I say unto the family, GOD knows and he cares. Blessed me the name of the LORD.

I ran into Larry one day at the Exxon one right after moving back to Natchez last year and we traded a few old stories. From that time on I would see Larry riding that bike almost every day of the week. He used to bring a smile to my face everytime he waved.

I'll be putting he and his family in my prayers tonight....

I am gonna miss him.......
