Papa was once one of my closest friends. I love him very much and I’m sad to say goodbye. I will always cherish the good times, his laugh, his humor, and his love for goofy commercials. I pray that in his moments of lucidity in the end he cried out to Jesus. I sure would like another hug one day.

I have many fond memories of my Great Uncle Larry. His funny phrases and expressions still linger. We always enjoyed spending time with him and our cousins Loy and Laura at Grandma Beulah’s house in Johnston City. Uncle Larry was always entertaining and always genuine. He is greatly missed.
