Larry met Dana in 2002 and fell in love.  They were inseparable from that moment forward.  Larry and Dana moved from Flower Mound, TX to Shreveport, LA in 2014 to pursue a new business venture with Dana's sons.  Larry's personality fit in Shreveport's way of life, especially his neighborhood and new church family at University Church of Christ.

The family expresses their appreciation for the love and care he received from Willis Knighton South and Bossier.  Larry also received excellent personal care from Dr. John Osborne, State of the Heart Cardiology and Dr. Pradeep Mammen and his wonderful staff at UT Southwestern Medical Center Heart and Lung Transplant Clinic. 

Larry loved his large family deeply and especially loved being a Paw-Paw to his 7 grandchildren.  He was a story teller that kept his audience laughing.  His singing was a gift that he loved sharing.  His laughter and beautiful voice will be heard through generations to come.  Larry was known as the man that always left you with these words,

 “Have a blessed day and peace be with you!”
