Thank you, Lord, for giving us Larry Gordon for the short amount of time You did. Without him, I would not have my loving and wonderful husband, Asa. To God Be The Glory. You were a kind and considerate father-in-law and you will be missed. Mrs. Darlene Gordon

Larry was a very special uncle to me. He instilled in me the desire to learn how to drive a stickshift car. I remember his Volkswagon Beetle way back in the Seventies. I have fond memiories of him cooking his world famous breakfast. To this day, breakfast is my favorite meal. He taught me how to barbeque and the value of using tongs to turn over ribs instead of a fork.
Love you and you will be missed. Dr. Tyree
