The two were married in 1964 and their life story together grew even stronger as they began their own family.

Larry was a long-time member and active Sunday School Teacher with the West Memphis First Baptist Church. He also taught the gospel through the local Community Bible Study. In 1989 he served as the Administrative Assistant to the Crittenden County Judge then later in 1995 was elected Crittenden County Treasurer and served until 2013. Larry was very involved throughout the community and county.
Larry is survived by his wife Becky, his son Mark Miller (Kim) and his daughter Shari Gross (Forrest). He also leaves a brother, Fred Miller and two sisters; Margaret Baker and Nelda Horn (Roger). He will be deeply missed by eight grandchildren; Justin Lowery (Ko), Logan Miller, Jake Miller, Hannah Lowery, Blake Lowery, Romey Gross, Juli Gross and Megan Thompkins as well as three great-grandchildren; Will, Waylon and Dayton.

Becky, I just learned of Larry's passing a few minutes ago. My sincere condolences to you for the loss of your husband and friend. You two had been together a long, long time...did not realize he was in the Army for many years until I read his obituary. May The Lord bless you with peace not only on this day but every day to come.

Heaven gained an admiral on the 27th of December. I am so glad the family had the opportunity to be with him on Christmas. Celebrating Jeaus’s Birth I know Larry the Christian man he was is rejoicing in heaven. He has no more worries and no more pains. I’m positive Aunt Christine was standing there with open arms! She truly loved him. All the others before him as well. The party can began for the spokesman has arrived. Becky you know he is probably telling lots of jokes and stories. I know my videos of him introducing Bradley to the stage for years will put a smile on our faces to remember how he said that wee little man. He traveled to our home when Bradley was born and setup health insurance for him as a baby as soon as he was born. We could not have made it without him. I know Bradley sure loves him. We loved him. I am so sorry you all all are going through this but remember one day we all will meet again. He is here always in spirit and our glorious memories! I know one thing there was no greater love Becky than yours and his. We love you Keith, Teresa, Chelsea (Winders) and Bradley West family.
