Memorials Dad...Thank you for all your love and kindness towards me and the other girls. Whenever I needed any advice, you were the one to come to. It was a blessing to always know that you would have an opinion, no matter what it was! Thank you for your intentional love. You took every chance you could to say "I love you." Praise God that you can finally be who you never could be here on Earth!
I'm proud to have you as my dad and rejoice in the knowledge that I will absolutely see you again. Until then, you just have a good 'ol time up there! I love you, Dad.

JACKIE EARL COX, NOVEMBER 2, 2007 I REMEMBER LARRY FROM BRISTOL, TN. - DID NOT KNOW HE WAS SICK - SO SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT HIS PASSING - WAS A WONDERFUL PERSON - MAY GOD BLESS AND HELP YOU THROUGH THIS DIFFICULT TIME PHYLLIS P HORNE, NOVEMBER 2, 2007 I knew Larry when he worked as District Manager for Sprint in Beaufort, SC. I lost touch with him after he moved from Beaufort. Larry was a gentleman and I always enjoyed my business association with him. I recall many years ago while Larry was still in Beaufort, my family was visiting during a company sponsored event. Larry owned a very nice 1957 Chevy and was driving it that day. My son was crazy about cars and particularly '57 Chevys. In showing his car to my son, Larry learned this and took him for his first and probably his only ride in a real '57 classic. My son has not forgotten it and often speaks of Mr. Riordan and his car. My sympathies to all the family. May you cherish your memories of him. JACK ROHR, NOVEMBER 2, 2007

You were a wonderful man and I know we will be seeing you again one of these days! We will help take care of your little family so dont worry! I know Mom and Dad will be glad to see you again! We love you and will see you in Heaven one of these days, your sister in marriage, Carolyn Lynn CAROLYN LYNN HOLLMIG, NOVEMBER 2, 2007 I enjoyed knowing him thru the full 18yrs of school. Our prayers are will his family KENNETH W. HOLAMON, NOVEMBER 2, 2007 We have been so blessed by Larry's teaching in our Sunday School Class. He has been missed and we will continue to miss him. We are thankful to know that he is now with our Lord and Savior with a new, healthy, strong body. Our prayers will continue to be with Marilyn and family. This verse helped us: Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of one of his saints. Psalm 116:15. We love you! Bob and Carolee Hall BOB AND CAROLEE HALL, NOVEMBER 2, 2007 Lord, bless this family in their mourning, eternal God, with the comfort of your love, that they may face each new day with hope and the certainty that nothing can destroy the good that has been given. May their memories of Larry always be joyful, their days enriched with friendship, and their life encircled by your love. Amen. Larry was such a special person. His smile was such so compasionate that you could not helpt but see the reflection of the Lord's glory shining through. Dave enjoyed the times that they were able to go to the car shows and Larry always made him feel so special when he would ask Dave to go for a ride in his 57 Chevy. I hope they have cool cars in heaven. He will cherish those moments and the memories of their friendship. I on the other
hand remember the first day that I went to Sunday school and how welcomed he made me feel. He taught me so much through the word he was such a spirit filled man. He would always bring some little antidote to the class that would always bring a smile to our faces. I remember one day he came into the classroom disguised as someone who was mentally challenge and how at first none of us really recognized him. He sat near each one of us trying to make us feel uncomfortable but we just thought he was crazy. It was a lesson about people being different, but all the same in God's eyes. I remember Charles and the choir always standing outside our Sunday school class looking through the window cause we always ran behind our alotted time. Larry just loved to talk about the Lord. I sat here reflecting on my past when I was so ill he always comforted me with prayers and I would feel the strength of the Lord through him. We will miss him terribly and we look forward to that glorious day that we will all be reunited again when we go home to be with the Lord. You will be in our prayers and thoughts daily. KATHI AND DAVE ROBERTS, NOVEMBER 2, 2007 Darlee--we have had such a good life together. We have enjoyed so many of God's gifts, but the greatest of all is having the Savior to go to and the promise that we will be together again in Heaven. The greatest earthly joys have come through our four children and five grandchildren. We miss you so much, but God will work through us to help each other--don't you worry! Love always. MARILYN A RIORDAN, NOVEMBER 2, 2007 Nice memories from school years at Early High-Special memory of visit with you & your wife at Early Reunion. God keep your family in his care - they know you are at Peace with God. DORIS DUNSWORTH DICKERSON, NOVEMBER 2, 2007 My prayers are with you in this time. May God lift you in His loving hands and give you His strength to see you though this difficult time. THERESA J CORNELL, NOVEMBER 1, 2007
