Diane and famly,I am sorry to hear of Larry's passing. I had the best times of my life working with him at the bank. He always kept us girls laughing. When Cotton would show up there things would be even more hysterical. Now they are keeping everyone laughing and smiling in heaven. He will surely be missed by all who knew and loved him dearly. I will be keeping your family in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless.

We will always remember how Larry could make us laugh, he should have been a comedian, he was so quick with his laughter and jokes, even when he was feeling his worst. We will always love your family.
