Thinking of your family during this time. Larence was a wonderful man -- and my memories of him and Clara always being there for Grandma Smith (and the rest of our family) remain most precious! Hugs......... Teresa

I worked with your Dad, he would come to our Greenbrier Forestry office several times checking on things for the Gravesville Fire Dept. He was always friendly, we enjoyed every visit. Sorry to hear of his passing. I know he loved the fire dept, the community, and he took great care of your Mom. She would be in the car with him sometimes. He'd always say he couldn't stay long. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Uncle Larence was such a good man and such a role model to so many. He will be missed by all so much. But I know he is home where he should be with Aunt Clara. My prayers are with his children and grandchildren left to miss him. May God's enduring promises give you comfort during this time.
