Larry was great to work with at Pepsi back in the eighties. He
was great to the employees as our HR person. Thoughts and
prayers for peace and comfort for the family.
We are so sorry to hear about your loss. Losing a loved one
isn't easy. Our loving God invites us at 1 Peter 5:7 " to throw
all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you." May God
give you courage and strength to sustain you in the days
ahead. At John 5:28,29 Jesus spoke about a resurrection for
our loved ones. These verses helped me to cope with the
death of my brother and father may it do the same for you and
your family.

Marie and family, I will never forget Larry from our younger years in Greeneville. He was always a big tease and I always loved visiting with their family. So sorry.

Larry as well as his family have been long time
friends. The best. We thought of them same as
kin. He was a special golf partner, and will be
greatly missed. Love and sympathy to you all. xo
Larry was the best HR supervisor that we had at
Pepsi-Cola in Johnson City. He loved his wife and
daughters. He loved to play golf. I enjoyed working
with him. He was always a very nice person that you
couldn't help to love.
