I am sorry to hear of Larry passing away. I worked with him at Richards Middle School and always enjoyed his sense of humor and uplifting attitude. My condolences to his family.

We are so sorry to hear of Larry’s passing. He was an awesome friend and neighbor to Cathy during her life and especially after she got sick. I, Becky, went to see him after Cathy passed and had a really nice visit. We pray that God holds you close, today especially, and in the days to come to give you peace and comfort. Larry is now celebrating with Cathy in heaven in the presence of God!! Love from The David Cox Family, David, Becky, Cate, Ben, Missy, and Forrest

Sorry for the loss of a good friend ! We will miss you

We are saddened to learn of Larry's passing. I enjoyed working with him at Rothschild Middle School and seeing him at the Rock gatherings. He fought well his battle with cancer and will be greatly missed by his friends

I didn't get to know Larry but 2 1/2 years. He was a very good man and, Larry lived for whom He believed in ( The Almighty God ) ! He will be missed . I'll be looking for Larry @ our monthly Painted Rock HOG Chapter Members meetings but, I have to remember that He's in our hearts and @ the meetings although we can't see him ! You've fought a good fight, You've finished your coarse , and You've kept the faith. RIP Brother ! I'm going to see You on the other side in HEAVEN !

Larry and I taught at Richards Middle School and were close friends and brothers in Christ along with battling cancer at the same time. I thank God that Larry had settled in his heart about where we would finally end up. Larry and I would talk and lift each other up during our trials and tribulations during the last year. I know that Larry will be sorely missed by the countless people he has encouraged, taught, and been role a role model over his lifetime. I saw firsthand how Larry used his faith to guide and direct anyone he met.

Sorry so to hear this...Prayers to the family

It was my great joy to know Larry and to work with him in the MCSD. Always kind and caring and with a great sense of humor, he made many difficult times better. I am so sorry for your loss of this fine gentleman. But, I will always remember Larry and cherish his friendship. God bless.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
