I want to express my deepest sympathies to Joy, Alisha, Jennifer and Melissa for the passing of their dad. He was my brother-n-law for many years but prior to that my ex-husbands best friend since high school. We all loved him and will always remember him. God bless his family and Lord please place your hands upon them to bring peace to them to get them through this time of sorrow.

Larry was my friend. He married my stepsister Sandra Caylor Chapa. I remember him in our home one evening and he knew I was working at the Boone Rd Butcher Shop, had recently started there, and thought I could use a set of hand weights. So he surprised me with two 10 pound hand weights that evening. I always found him thoughtful like that. I still have them and use them with aerobics. The two of his daughters that I know are good women, spunky like their parents, and kind like them too. May God bless you and keep you Larry.

Uncle Bob and Aunt Shirley,
I have so many wonderful memories of our families getting together. Larry always was so much fun! He was my dad's favorite nephew!:) It meant so much that he would call and check on me after mom and dad passed away. He will be missed!

Uncle Bob and Aunt Shirley,

I was stunned to hear of Larry's passing from Debbie. I was aware that he had lingering physical issues from the cycle accident but was not aware that there were any life-threatening issues.

Every few months Larry would call to visit. He was always so thoughtful to ask if he was calling at a bad time. He just wanted to reach out and express his love of family. That was so meaningful to me. His heart was full of good will and he was able to be so positive despite obvious challenges.

Papa is surely happy to have Larry with him. They seemed to have a special bond that was wonderful for them both.

God Bless.
