I was so sad to hear the news of Larry passing. He was an amazing man of God. I remember spending time with him and Melba at their house for Bible study and other gatherings. He was so kind and caring when my dad passed away. I know Chuck was up there waiting for him with a cup of coffee. Prayers and thoughts are with the whole family!
