A great friend who will be missed
Please accept my/our condolences to Jean and Larry’s family on his passing. I knew them when we all lived in LaPlace many years ago. Little did we know that when we decided to move to Hammond, it would be their house that we bought. Very nice and godly people. Heaven has truly gained another angel. May he rest in eternal peace in the Loving Arms Of Jesus.
I am honored to have taken care of Larry while going through his cancer journey. My condolences to Jean and the family
God Bless
Larry was a great man with a servants heart, and a good friend
to my parents. Hugs and condolences to Jean and family.
Larry always treated me like his sister even though I was only a cousin. He was such a sweetheart & I loved him dearly. Sending love to Jean, Deborah, Jeff, Cindy, Teri & all. Always
A good friend since I have been in NC
