Ann and family, so sorry for your loss. Larry will be missed. He was such a joy to be around. We had such a good time in school, playing drums and marching with the band, laughing and cutting up, just trying to help when & where we could but have fun at the same time.
Our last '65 class reunion was last time I actually Larry but always asked Diane McMichael Anderson about him as I knew she would visit when she could. I hate that I never got to come on one of those visits but know that he and how he was doing was always on our minds and hearts.

Our thoughts are for you and family during these difficult days. We know that God will provide as only HE can. It was a joy and privilege to visit with Larry at the yearly gatherings at Shorty's house. Larry was so full of Life and could entertain at the drop of a hat. He lived what he believed and will be greatly missed. May God give you the OIL OF JOY FOR MOURNING.

My dear friend, Ann. I knew this day would come and I just know found out about it. You know I love you and you are always in my prayers. Maybe in the weeks to come, we can together and visit. God bless you and keep you close during this time. Love, Ginger
Ann & Clifton, I hope you and your family know that I cared very much for Larry! I got to know him better Clifton, when you were a Boy Scout in Troop 39 here in Linden. It was my privilege to be the Assistant Scout Master when you and my son Wesley were in this Troop. Ann I so appreciated Larry, when he was the Parts Man for Lanier Chevrolet. My wife Mary Jane worked there for 32 years, as the Business Manager. I also liked it best when he was he was filling in for Joy Pat Early, at his auto parts store. Larry also usually waited on me, even when Joe Pat was there. Ann, it was so great when you used to work at the Texas Forest Service, when I was a forester for the Soil Conservation Service. All of us sure will miss Larry, but we know that he has no more pain, and is now in heaven with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Your fellow Christian member of the Linden United Methodist Church, Paul Ellinger.
Ann, Clifton and Family, We are so saddened for Larry's death. We have special memories of him on Holidays. He was such a joy to be with. May the Lord Comfort you during this difficult time.

Ann and Clifton,
I wanted you to know how much I cared for Larry. I will miss him so much! Clifton, I got to know your Dad better, when you were in Boy Scout Troop 39 here in Linden. It was my privilege to be the Assistant Scout Master when you and my son Wesley were in this Troop. Scout Master Keith Fuller and you and Wesley and I had some great times at Camp Pioneer in Arkansas! Ann, Larry usually waited on me when he worked in Joe Pat Early’s auto supply store. Mary Jane and I got to know Larry best, when he was Parts Manager at Lanier Chevrolet. Thank you Ann, for all your years of service in the Texas Forest Service. As a forester with the SCS, I sure did enjoy working with you! I know that Larry is now with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and has no more pain! Your Christian friend Paul, also a member of the Linden United Methodist Church.
