A Rose is Bloomiing there for him....Where the soul never dies. Nancy, I above all understand your tremendous loss. As you know, I lost my Sharron in February. We love you and Larry. He and you were (are) such dear friends to us. I would have been there today but had no transportation from Houston. Call me if you just need someone to talk or cry to. (281)246-4627.. He was such a great friend and man. I loved him. May our God and Father Bless you and the family, and be your comfort in this time of earthly sorrow. I am confident that Larry and Sharron live on in the Bliss of Heaven, in God's arms, and wait for us there. My love and prayers are with you. Glenn Tomblin

A good Christian man who loved the Lord and his family. We enjoyed his lead singing when we worshipped with him and his family in San Antonio. He was an inspiration to us all and will be remembered as a kind and gentle man who was quiet, but knew where he stood on his faith. Rest in peace Brother!!

"In your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore." (Psalm 16:11) Larry is in the presence of our dear Brother Jesus Christ, the very man who taught him how to be an amazing Christian man. "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." (Acts 4:12) My heart is aching for Nancy and the sweet children and grandchildren. I am so thankful to have had the privilege and honor to know him as I grew up in San Antonio. He entrusted me to babysit his children and I remember a special evening when I asked him advice about life and relationships. He instructed me with compassion and godliness and actually encouraged me to take steps toward the courage I needed. Nancy and Larry will always remain an outstanding example of commitment, love, and grace. I cannot imagine the heartache the family is feeling. The greatest consolation that we could ever have is to know that his heart desired godliness. I want to live in such a way to be sure to meet him there."Yes, we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord." (2 Corinthians 5:8)
