Posted at 18:14h, 18 MarchI got to know Larry when I moved here from Virigina in 2018, He did some work with his backhoe in my yard. I started to do some shoveling he said to me wait a minute Old Man, and from then on, we called each other Old Man. We would sit on the porch and talk about old times growing up as kids, he would always say to me when I left Love you old man and tell Tammy I love her, He sure was a blessing to know, and I sure will miss him RIP
“Old Man” Love you
