Rest in Peace my Brother.

I will always remember our road trips to Atlanta. Me, you, James & Carl, wow! good times. Like that one night we got pulled by Atlanta PD and I just knew we all were going to spend the night in jail. But you talked us out of trouble with the cops and we celebrated all over downtown Buck Head. You made the best morning after Bloody Mary's.

Love you Bro.

I ask Uncle Larry once what did he want to be remember for if he pass away. I don't know what made me ask that question. I guess all of the tours he would take me on every time I Came to visit him in Charleston, from the battery to his office , to the schools he attended and the houses he had live in. And we went to the Angle Oak tree on Johns Island and as we drove away he said please remember me for the nice things that I have done and the kind heart that I have ! and yes I will always remember that of him. Always asking was I ok, did I need anything, and if you do I am here for u kid ! And he was and I always knew he would be ! Thank you for all the love and kindness you showed me as a kid and adult . I will always have great memories of you Uncle Larry and love you for ever!
I will learn from things you told me and taught me .tell papa and granny hello for me and give them the biggest hug ever! aunt Shirley Uncle James and Aunt Ruthie Too! No more wheel chairs and no more being alone! I celebrate your life Thank you for being my Uncle , friend and buddy. Love you
