Dear Sweet Larry! It’s hard to imagine I won’t be getting calls from you, and singing me Happy Birthday, and your greeting What’s Up Sister! You loved to visit and talk of the good old days, your grandson’s and old friends. People always comment you were a legend and how they loved your hair (way back when you had some haha) and your basketball skills. And thanks for always letting me take your car when I had to run to TL for dentist appointments, not because you wanted me to, but because you had to maybe, that darn stick shift! I’m glad you were my brother and I will miss and Love you always! Rest In Peace now and suffer no more! Love Joyce and Mike❤️
