Larry's passing will leave a hole in many lives and he was always a friend to me. His passion for community service after his retirement from the postal service brought him into volunteering to be a crossing guard at Dunwoody Elementary where he would relay stories to me of close calls whereby crossing guards like himself literally put themselves in harms way for the protection of our children.
Below is the Proclamation Larry was able to accept from Governor Nathan Deal in 2013 on behalf of all the dedicated crossing guards in the State of Georgia.

I loved Larry. Such a wonderful man. May he RIP....
The Lakeland Woods Court community is in mourning for Larry's passing, as he was "our" crossing guard. Larry was also my friend, starting while we served together on the DHA board and continuing with trading local news & Army-Navy jibes over coffee or car bumpers. I will always remember exchanging salutes with Larry as he worked in all kinds of weather in the middle of Womack Rd and surrounded by traffic. Rose is right, he was a wonderful man. RIP.
