My sincere prayers are extended to the family of my very good friend, Larry. Mary and Bo and family, I will be thinking of you often. I officiated many football games with Larry. Also, many plain ole scrimmages. Those times created many stories. Just a memory, This was in Larry's capacity as HS assigning secretary. My crew was in Louisville one evening. The coach became angry over a 'call' someone on my crew made. The coach told me it "would be the last time I was ever be in Louisville, MS!" The next year when Larry distributed our assigned games I saw my crew was assigned to the Louisville at Columbus game. I reminded Larry of the coach's comments from the year before. Larry replied, "He said he didn't want you at home. He didn't say anything about 'on the road' " Typical Larry comment. He will certainly be missed. I'm glad he and the family were my friends.
