Larry was there in some of my most formative years. He and my sister Chrissy dated for 8 years and he was a wonderful man and a life long friend. His passion for life was inspiring, the time we spent at Georgetown was amazing and my heartfelt condolences go out to the Cocking family. I love ya Larry and God speed to you my friend. We all be together again in time.

My Condolences to the Cocking family, I went to school with Larry and Angel, a few trips with them to Georgetown Lake with the family, riding the 4wheelers, prom with him and his girlfriend. A ride in the elcamino when he got it restored and hanging with him and Angel at his home in Walkerville with his great big Oscar fish. Larry was a bright Star, my heart is saddened and goes out to his family and friends. He will be missed…
