While Larry worked hard throughout his life, his greatest accomplishment and deepest joy were found in his family. He was a devoted husband, a loving father, and an extraordinary Papa. His grandchildren were truly the light of his life. Whether hosting summer pool parties, taking family beach vacations, sneaking extra desserts with the grandkids, or joining them on shopping trips, Larry treasured every moment spent with those he loved. He took great pride in maintaining a beautiful yard, enjoyed discovering new restaurants with family and friends, and never missed an opportunity to create lasting memories.
Larry was a faithful member of St. Andrew’s Global Methodist Church, where he served in numerous capacities throughout the years. He deeply loved his church family and found great joy in serving others and sharing his faith.
An avid Auburn football fan, Larry could often be found cheering on the Tigers and sharing one of his many jokes. His warm smile, quick wit, generous heart, and unwavering love for his family will be remembered by all who knew him.
Though his presence will be deeply missed, his family finds comfort in the countless memories he created, the values he instilled, and the love he shared so freely throughout his life.
