Larry was a lover of southern gospel music and sharing the gospel with people he met. He was dedicated to his love for Christ and loved singing in the choir at church. In his spare time, he loved to watch the Dallas Cowboys, collecting flowers, shopping and talking to anyone he met. He never met a stranger and always wanted to help his plumbing customers with anything he could.
