Larry will always be remembered by us as a man who worked hard and liked his weekends free to spend relaxing! He would do what he could for his friends and hoped they would do the same for him. Larry, you will be greatly missed and were dearly loved. You will forever be in our hearts!
Our condolences on the loss of your Dad, Brother, Uncle.
He was a nice man and we enjoyed seeing him in the cafe.
Janette, we share your sorrow in this loss, and we offer our prayers for peace and comfort as you grieve.
I’ve known Larry for over 35 years. Larry was my best friend and I loved his kindness and being down to earth. He was a great guy to hang out with and we had fun reminiscing about growing up in small town Texas. No matter where I lived in the USA, Larry and I always had a special connection. He will definitely be missed.
I send my condolences to Gary, Janette and the rest of the Tull family. May Larry rest in peace and his memories flourish forever.
