To Kafui – Kids – Family & Friends,
Sending Sincere Condolences from his Eastside classmates.
Larry was a joy to be around, he always had a positive joyful Spirit, with his smile and playful mentality.
As a band mate, he was the guy with SOUL, with his defiant and precision marching, and to be clean, his nice dance steps (lol). If Mr. Parker asked us to get into a dance move, trust and believe, we could count on “L” to be able to demonstrate without hesitation.
A Great person to be around, we’re sorry for your loss.
Rest Easy Class/Bandmate
