Mr. Larry was a kind and gentle person. He always had an encouraging word. He was a pray warrior and his love for God showed in his devotion to his church, his wife, and his family. What a blessing it was to know him.

I feel like it was yesterday I hunted him down at church to hug him and tell him how happy to see him back at church. He was a very special man and had a special place in my heart. My daddy thought so much of Larry he ask him to perform his funeral service, in typical Larry he declined saying oh no no he couldn’t do that. We loved having that Baring Cross connection at Park Hill. He also taught the best class at BCBC I’ve ever attended “What Baptist believe and Whyâ€. David and I will miss him terribly. â¤ï¸ðŸ™ðŸ¼
