To Rena, Bubba, Stacy and Hillary…
Some of those adventures with Skyline Drive and playing music in your home town are some of my fondest memories.
I was searching for Bubba when I learned the news.
Feel free to reach out.

Ms Brown, I met Larry when he and I were stationed at Vandenberg AFB in the early 70s. He was a good friend and co-worker. I had tried to get up with him thru Facebook but we never connected. I was excited to see his name come up last night on fb but so very disappointed to read of his passing. Please know that Larry was a true gentleman and just an easy going man. I wish you and your family all the best. Hold on to the good memories you have of y’all’s time together. God bless each of you.

I held Larry in the utmost respect, he was a great friend and I loved going up to his little art shop when he had it, on the corner of Hale Avenue and Pecan Street in Osceola to watch him airbrush something and talk to him about art.
Larry was a good friend! I cannot stress that enough!
Rest from your labors my friend you deserve the time off!
