Chaplain Larry was a kind and thoughtful man. We have many fond memories of him at Tyson Foods. He sat near the Leadership Development Department and was always there for all of us with a compassionate and caring smile. One of my dearest memories was when Larry and his wife drove all the way to Tulsa to be with me after my husband was hit by a car. At the time we didn’t know if my husband would make it and having them there with me gave me hope and I will forever be grateful for Larry and his wife for that night. He will never be forgotten ♥️

Pastor Larry came and taught at Awana Scholarship Camp when I was a teenager at a crucial time when I was evaluating if I really believed the Bible for myself, or if it was just because I'd always been told to. His love and his passion for the Bible made an immeasurable impact on me and he actually inspired me to memorize the entire book of 1 Peter as a teenager. I will always be grateful for his ministry. May our Lord give his family, his friends, and his church peace as we look forward to being reunited again in heaven one day.

Larry was the best Godfather to Jer and me, always encouraging and praying over us. I’ll forever rememb his love for Christ, his family, the church, how he preached God’s love to so many over the course of his life, his sweet demeanor, and his genuine, loving smile.

Pastor Larry was such a special man! He has been such an encourager and supporter for my husband and me. We completed our premarital counseling with him, which so thoroughly prepared us for marriage, and he did an incredible job marrying us. He made such a huge impact on my husband’s life during some very hard times. He will always be a role model for us and we will never forget him!

Bro. Larry was such a dear friend and pastor to so many. My mom was his secretary when he was pastor at Second Baptist and then he played a pivotal role in helping Westway Baptist get established. I’ll always be grateful for those years and the friendship we had with him and his sweet wife Rosanne. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of loss but we rejoice in knowing he was welcomed into Heaven with Well Done Good and Faithful Servant!
