My sincere sympathies to Larry’s immediate family, his church family and his many friends. I have been a friend of his for his entire life, We grew up together as neighbors in Willow Street, attended Manor High School together and stayed in contact his entire life. He was a good friend and had a difficult life with many physical impairments but whenever I traveled back to Willow Street from Los Angeles to visit my family we always visited together. Many times admiring his extensive train collection of which he was so proud. He was not one to complain but excepted his life and attempted to live it to the fullest. His loss saddens me, I shall miss my good friend. Rest in peace and in your faith. Ken Hackman
