Paulette, so sorry for your loss. I hated to hear of his passing. Love you, Buffy
I have known Larry for over 40 yrs. His lovely family and mine shared many years in church together, I know when I see him again the only thing that will change is we will be with our Lord and Savior face to face.
Paulette so sorry for your loss of Larry. My thoughts and prayers are with you and all your family and friends.
Great man of God and loved hearing him preach at the revival. My condolences are with the family. Much love and prayers each ❤️
Larry and Paulette's family and our family were always together when I was young. We were not blood but we were family. I thank God for Larry's life. He showed me the love of God, and how to love your family. I will cherish those memories for the rest of my life. I can see him now in heaven with our Lord.

I am sorry to learn about Larry’s passing. Thoughts and prayers to you Paulette, Missy, Wayne, David, and your extended family. I always will remember of Larry’s contagious smile when seeing him at church. Prayers for the peace of Holy Spirit as you grieve his passing from earth into eternity and hope and you will one day see him again.
I’ve known Larry and his family most of my life. There are few people in my lifetime that I can honestly say I have always had respect for. He and his wife are true Christians. I am very sad for his family. I just found out that he passed or I would have been to his services. I hope and pray that his family realizes what a good man he was and he will always be by their side. Prayers and condolences.
