    So sorry for your loss. Larry was one of my favorite coworkers. He had a great personality, and always had something to say ( once he got to know you). Great guy!

    A great co-worker who always had time to help his fellow workers. Rest In Peace Larry

  • Many great times with you and Farmall…..

    Best one I can think of is when you told Ricky Hall you’d wrestle him over $500 on a new tractor.
    And he weighed 400 lbs

    I will miss you

    As a cousin of Linda, we got to know Larry through our cousin reunions. Really enjoyed getting to know Larry and the conversations we had at these gatherings. He was a welcome addition to our family.
    Our thoughts and prayers are with all of Larry’s family.
