Beginning 1985 God began to use Larry and Judy in my life. They invested in me and stimulated me to love and good works. I was their Pastor, not because I was a good at it, it was because of the faith they have in God. Larry set the standard of a real Christian Man. I have used him all these years, as I have spoken to men, one-on-one, and in Men's groups. His legacy lives on and will continue to give life to men.
Larry is with is Lord today. I could not be more proud to have been his friend.
May the Lord be with you all.
