    We will miss Larry and his zanny sense of humor. We spent a lot of time discussing the WORD and answering each others questions. Larry was a true friend and if you had a need, he was there. Be assured that he has crowns coming him in heaven as he was a true servant to the LORD.

    Larry will be missed. I attended both the Zion’s Hope Bible Study and the Tri County Tea party with him. Larry’s sense of humor along with his love for his country and God impacted those who associated with him in a positive way.

    Tony and family, I am so sorry for your loss. Your dad was a huge part of the Carmel sports community especially his love and passion for football. I feel honored to have grown up with an amazing man! Sending you all love and prayers.
