Lets see, there are so many memories.... (some really shouldn't be shared here) Larry and I were best friends through life. When we were young, we pooled our money for gas to run around, we double-dated, went to dances, we did everything together. I spent more time at his house than at my house. His mother and daddy were so wonderful. They treated me like a son. I knew all of his family, and a lot of Carolyn's family. What a match made in Heaven... She has been his true partner in life. I am so proud of their accomplishments and integrity. I had hoped I would be back in Covington to spend time quality couple time with them.Larry helped A LOT of people, including me and my family. Most, if not all never knew it, Larry was not a boastful person. Larry was one of the most honorable men (and boy) I've ever known. Just a few short years ago Larry was able to come to Florida, We spent a week together in Key West, what a wonderful time we had. My heart goes out to all of Larry and Carolyn's family, I know he will be missed terribly. As for me, I will always have a whole in my heart that he has always filled. The memories, though will carry us through.Carolyn, you are in my and Bitsy's (Rose) heart and prayers, if you need anything, just call.
