I saw his heart in his rugged exterior not so much in how he acted, but his concern for those that were around him. He was deeply committed to AA, and helped me greatly when I was around him. I can still hear him today in his deep voice when I would first see him, "What are you doing goofball," he would say, followed by his laughter with his eyes shining bright.
I'll miss him and my sincerest sympathy to the family and the rest of his great friends.
I have know 35 years, we were great friends, I was his insurance agent, we did prison together & countless other events. We celebrated our sober birthdays together every April. He would have 48 years & I 36 years. He will be greatly missed by countless people. I have countless memories of my time with Larry, and I’m sure he’ll be welcomed in the big meeting in the sky.
I’ve know Larry for 20 years. I met him at a halfway house in Farmington, MO. He got me into service work as soon as I met him. He said you need to give back. You have a story that will help a lot of women. He was right. I’ve been so blessed with all the women in my life.
I will miss you Larry. I always looked forward to seeing him at the Five Corners. I have 7,167 day. Thank you for all your help! R.I.P my friend. Prayers to all and big hugs!
