I could never ask for a better neighbor than Larry. I am so sorry that we both met so late in life. Those 5 years flew by. I will so miss our little skull sessions sitting in the shade and solving not only world problems but Razorback problems as well. He was truly an all weather fan; I'm just a fair weather fan. We have pieces of Larry's artwork all over. Daily reminders of how God sends someone into our lives, even if just for a short season. Some day when I step into Paradise, I expect to be greeted by that wonderful laugh!

Larry was one of my favorite customers at Miller’s. He always brightened my day with his presence. Just a happy guy, with the best laugh, and the most hilarious stories. There’s certainly no one else I’ve ever know like him. A life well loved and well lived.
