Larry loved the farm and took good care of the cows, first thing every morning, come rain or shine. The kids have special memories about time spent with their uncle Larry, whether riding the 4 wheeler checking cows or chasing spring gobblers. The right field foul line of the baseball field will not be the same without him. They were blessed to have him in their lives. We all loved his sense of humor and appreciated his kindness. Larry loved to hunt and fish with his family and friends. He would take the entire month of December off just to quail hunt. Larry's special friend and lifetime buddy, Ronnie Armstrong, can tell you humorous stories about their many hunting trips together. Sure would like to enjoy one more covey rise with you. We will miss you "Uncle Whitey"
