He was always ready to lend a hand, share a story, or check in on someone he cared about. He loved his family with all his heart, treasured his friends, and was deeply committed to his church. One of his greatest joys was sharing the love of the Lord with others. With a heart of gold, Larry was always willing to help anyone in need.

Larry's life reflected the words of Proverbs 20:7: "The righteous man walks in his integrity; his children are blessed after him. "
