Larry was a retired coal miner, and he loved serving the Lord.  He was a soldier of the cross and a prayer warrior for many and a strong supporter of Israel.  Larry enjoyed praying for people and he loved and cared for everyone.  He attended Camp Creek Pentecostal Church, and he liked to visit and support other churches.

The family would like to give special thanks to Larry’s caregivers, Christopher Hurley & Logan Perry. 

Larry’s legacy and devotion lives on through the love he gave so freely, and the memories held dear by those who knew him.  His warmth and generosity will be deeply missed but never forgotten.
