Larry was hard worker and great provider for his family. He was born and raised in Duplin County, North Carolina. Larry was a farmer by trade and enjoyed growing poultry and swine. He was a unique man who had his own ways and ideas. One never had to guess what Larry was thinking because he would always let you know what was on his mind. Larry loved to talk and carry on a conversation, which was always interesting. Being an outdoorsman, Larry enjoyed hunting and doing things outside. He was very talented and used that talent to build the house he lived in. He made every brick and constructed a very beautiful place to live. Larry will be missed but he will never be forgotten.
