Larry was a hard-working man that treated his customers with respect and fairness. He was very proud of his children and grandchildren. His family is in our thoughts and prayers. May God grant you peace as you deal with your loss.
I haven’t known Larry for very long. I met my first Arkansas next-door neighbor last July after I purchased land next to Larry. I’ll never forget the day I met him. I drove to his place to meet my new neighbor in my white Ram 3500 dually truck. Although I moved here from California, I proved I wasn’t a Californian. After parking near Larry’s house, his barking dogs first met me. Then I looked up just as Larry came out the front door carrying his shotgun. I wasn’t stunned or scared one bit. Being a country boy raised in North Carolina, this greeting didn’t faze me. I introduced myself as his new neighbor, and Larry quickly stowed his shotgun in his truck. We talked a bit outside. Shortly, Larry invited me inside to show me his mounted deer heads. We had wonderful conversations. He told me a little bit about Susie and Bo. Larry and I had one particular thing in common. We both lost our first wife to cancer. My wife, Amy, and I offer our heartfelt condolences to Susie, Bo, his grandchildren, and Larry's sisters, Sylvia and Rose.
We're so sorry to hear this. Larry will be missed by the family and so many friends. He was a very good small engine repairman. Prayers for the family
