    Larry was a good guy and started a horse for me that I rode for over 20 years. I had a feed store in Osessa and he was not only a good customer but a good friend. We spent a lot of hours just talking. I will miss him. Sorry for his familys loss. Knowing Larry he is up their riding with a good horse and dog in front of him. – Randall Wehner
