He was always excited for the Dallas Cowboys season to start. Larry had all of the predictions, answers, etc. Larry was a man of many talents, including reading his Bible every morning while drinking coffee sitting in his car, so he could watch over the neighborhood, and waited for anyone to walk up so he could share the word of God.
